Since the year 2002, the CIVITAS Initiative provides opportunities for European cities to implement innovative sustainable urban mobility measures. So far, 59 cities across Europe have implemented more than 730 innovative urban mobility measures within the CIVITAS Initiative, and eight more cities are ready to test additional innovative measures in two new projects starting in 2013. The document shows to what extent CIVITAS contributes to the intended paradigm shift towards new urban sustainable mobility. It offers urban transport professionals insights into the various results, lessons and practical examples that have been generated in the first ten years of the CIVITAS Initiative.

CIVITAS ELAN has published the scientific results of the project in a 372-page handbook. The first part of the book includes texts dealing with the social circumstances of changing urban mobility and consequently with changing urban traffic systems and traffic policies. The second part presents some of the most successful methodological solutions that were used to analyse the changing and ever new forms of mobility. In the more extensive third part, new techniques, technologies, solutions, approaches and products are presented, which contribute to more efficient and environmentally friendly city traffic. The book concludes with the reflections of the project’s scientific coordinator about the cooperation in the RTD part of the project. It contains proposals, which shall contribute to a better understanding of the project’s achievements and stimulate further discussions on the objectives of the CIVITAS Initiative.
