How Public Policies Can Pave the Way for a New Sustainable Urban Mobility?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Automobile Revolution

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the role of governments in the transformation of the automotive industry into the ecosystem of sustainable mobility 2.0 and how this transformation is taking place by putting governments as key players in mobility challenges, endorsed with a new structuring role. We shall show how public policies help to move from the old mobility paradigm based on cars proliferation associated with multiple nuisances to a new paradigm embracing new needs and offers designing mobility in a sustainable environment. The States, the European community as well as local authorities are implementing urban mobility policies, leveraged either by incentives (such as inter-modality and tax reduction) or coercion (such as speed limits, urban tolls), imposing global guidelines aiming at reducing noise or pollution.
