Uruguay launches the Guide for Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning

Uruguay under the Moves Project launches “La Guía para la Planificación Sostenible de la Movilidad Urbana en Uruguay”

This Guide was created with the purpose of providing governments with tools for planning and implementing sustainable mobility strategies in their cities and territories.

This work arises thanks to the collaboration of the National Directorate of Territorial Planning (DINOT-MVOT) and the NUMP Uruguay Project (Euroclima + / GIZ), whose objective is to lay the foundations for a National Sustainable Urban Mobility Policy.

This document brings together concepts of what mobility is, the current city model, the problems it is facing, and the new paradigm of sustainable urban mobility. Thus, criteria for the design of a mobility plan, the stages involved and possible evaluation indicators are included along with an infrastructure guide design for sustainable mobility.

For better understanding, this document  has been divided into four sections to go through

  1. Mobility planning
  2. General mobility concepts
  3. Sustainable urban mobility measures to be applied in cities
  4. Sustainable urban mobility elements design guide
