Achieving sustainable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly transport systems is one of the European key aims. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) are an instrument that contributes to reaching the climate and energy targets set by European leaders and is promoted by the European Commission in relevant documents such as the Transport White Paper and Urban Action Plan. Cities frequently face major barriers while creating their own Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.
 
After the successful first workshop in Gent on “Stakeholder participation and citizen involvement”, CH4LLENGE organised its second workshop on “Institutional cooperation between sectors and disciplines” in Leeds, UK on 5-6 November 2013.
 
The host of this workshop is the county of West Yorkshire, and more specifically the Strategic Transport Authority for the five West Yorkshire local district authorities, METRO. With their broad experience in institutional cooperation and interesting stories to tell based on their own experience, they are the perfect institution to turn to for this training!
 
The main topics of the workshop are:
  • Institutional cooperation: basics
  • Institutional cooperation: best practice examples
  • Start of the activities on local SUMP roadmaps
 
Participants will receive training on horizontal, vertical and spatial cooperation through the examples of West Yorkshire. Invited experts are not coming only from the mobility departments, but also from others, such as the Leeds Public Health department, demonstrating inter-institutional cooperation.

The next CH4LLENGE workshop will take place in Amiens, France on the 1st-2nd of April 2014 and will focus on the third challenge: Measure Selection.
