This edition of >Studies on Mobility and Transport Research< addresses the question of how to encourage people to walk and cycle in urban areas. It highlights the implementation of successful measures and campaigns in different countries and cities and also the importance of and degree to which awareness of active travel has been raised among stakeholders and decision makers. The aim is that walking and cycling should be seen as equal to other modes of transport, requiring an adequate and defined budget.
Another purpose of this collection of articles is to point out that the planning and implementation of strategies and measures for active travel modes in cities is a smart step towards energy-efficient, healthy, social and environmentally-friendly development which improves quality of life. It is also important to point out that this approach makes sense for cities all over the world, whether they are old EU member states or new member states or even outside Europe.
