CH4LLENGE project launched
Friday, September 20, 2013 - 12:26
The new European project CH4LLENGE, funded by the IEE – Intelligent Energy Europe programme, addresses the key challenges of sustainable urban mobility planning. The official launch of the CH4LLENGE project took place between May 21 – 22, 2013 in Cologne Germany, bringing together 17 partners from 12 countries.
Over the course of the next three years, CH4LLENGE (2013-2016) will address the four most pressing challenges in SUMP development and implementation and develop innovative and transferable solutions in the areas of:
- Stakeholder participation and citizen involvement
- Institutional cooperation between sectors and disciplines
- Identification of the most effective policy measures
- Monitoring and evaluation of progress in SUMP development
The project consortium, with 17 partners, has a broad experience of working with integrated mobility planning and SUMPs in different corners of Europe. Cities of Amiens, Dresden, Ghent, West Yorkshire, Brno, Budapest, Krakow, Timisoara and Zagreb will demonstrate in practical terms how cities with different backgrounds and local contexts can overcome the four major challenges to sustainable urban mobility planning. The CH4LLENGE cities will be supported by an experienced group of research institutions, consultants, city networks and expert organisations. In addition the project will support the take up of SUMPs in 26 European cities.
One of the key outputs will be the CH4LLENGE kits consisting of a comprehensive manual, a brochure and the relevant e-learning modules for local practitioners covering the four defined SUMP challenges.
