SUMP Concept: the need for an update Reflections from CREATE Peter Jones Scientific Coordinator SUMPS Co-ordinating Group Meeting, Brussels, 10th and 11th October, 2017

Key Points The SUMP is an important policy tool that encourages cities to look well beyond providing for private motor vehicles, and instead to promote sustainable urban mobility But it is now recognised by leading cities that transport systems play a much wider role in delivering city visions SUMP guidance alludes to this, but not fully explored Scope to update and expand the concept – and provide analytical advice too?

CREATE: ‘Transport Policy Development Process’ Planning for people movement: public transport, walking & cycling; roadspace reallocation Planning for city life: transport as ‘place’; active traffic restraint; remove some obtrusive road infrastructure, support other objectives (e.g. health) Planning for vehicle movement: road building, parking

Stage 3: Street Redesign 1

Dubrovnik SUMP conference 30/03/17

SUMP Objectives = ‘Stage 2’ (Annex 1 17.12.2013) Accessible – meet mobility needs Balances diverse demands Integration of different modes Meets sustainability requirements Optimises efficiency and cost- effectiveness Makes better use of urban space & transport infrastructure Enhances attractiveness of urban environment, quality of life and public health = ‘Stage 3’ Improves safety and security Reduces air & noise pollution, energy & CO2 Contributes to better TEN-T performance

Future framing of SUMPS….. Urban mobility-related forward policy-making being driven by two factors: (A) Impacts of new transport – and non-transport – technologies, on demand and supply: ‘consumer-led’ revolution -> increasing market pressures (e.g. Uber) (B) Vision of future policy evolution of cities, based on social values: ‘citizen-led’ evolution

A: Technology-led Developments of Stages 1 & 2 MaaS AVs & fleet electrification

Potential impact of AVs – do we revert to S1? AV-dominated, lower density cities??

Alternative city trajectories Low-density lifestyle? Stage 2 -> Stage 3 Source: analysis by Roger Teoh, MSc Dissertation Imperial/UCL 2016 UITP data 1995

B: - A Progression to ‘Stage 4’? Planning for people movement: public transport, walking & cycling; roadspace reallocation Planning for city life: transport as ‘place’; active traffic restraint; remove some obtrusive road infrastructure, support other objectives (e.g. health) Stage 4? Planning for vehicle movement: road building, parking Mobility densification: Planning for city accessibility: cross sector planning and operation; smart cities??

Recommendations from CREATE A SUMP refresh should be explicitly based on Stage 3 thinking SUMP objectives to be broadened -> SDS?? Incorporate SULPs? For debate: should SUMP+ also encourage cities to anticipate the future and choose a development path: Consumer-led revolution OR citizen-led evolution?
