Although the Urban Mobility Framework advocates for the development of sustainable and multimodal transport solutions, with multimodal hubs identified as key infrastructure to integrated transport modes and improve the user experience, the development of those hubs is still in an early stage in many urban nodes across Europe. Multimodal hubs are still underrepresented in SUMPs while the new TEN-T regulation sets ambitious targets for their development in European Functional Urban Areas (FUA).
This SUMP Topic Guide Deliverable is primarily based on the results of the Horizon 2020 project MOVE21, yet the recommendations have also been validated with the partners and local authorities of the SCALE-UP project. The results draw from research in the eight EU countries (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania, Spain and Sweden) and the EEA country Norway which are represented in MOVE21. The results were further broadened to three other EU countries (Belgium, Finland and Spain), represented in SCALE-UP. Project partners from both projects took part in workshops to validate the policy recommendations (an overview of activities and materials used are available in the Annex B and C). Furthermore, experiences from other related EU funded project were references such as the SmartHubs, MoloHub, RESTART projects. Nine semi-directive expert interviews were held to gather relevant information on the state of the art (an overview of interviews held is available in the Annex A). In total experiences from over 15 European cities are featured in this Deliverable.
