Battles of Ideas: Strategies for a New Mobility Agenda

Cities, mobility, environment, climate, public space, equity What is a Soft City.
1. First, it is recognizable. It has a clear sense of identity. And jobs.
10.

When you are there you know where you are.
2. It is a place where many things you need in your daily life are within a comfortable and safe walk or bike ride.
3. It is quiet and clean.
4. And safe – for all but above all for women and children.
5. There are people on the streets (eyes on the street, assuring safety and amenity).
6. Traffic is light, unobtrusive and moves slowly – in tempo with the

others sharing the street.
7. It is self-governed – and the people there vote.
8. It offers schools, [education and culture
9. It is diverse, the people there do not look like clones.
11. Active civil society, caring groups and NGOs to speak for and defend vulnerable populations.
12. Open government, open data
13. A Soft City may well be a satellite city in a larger metropolitan region. A city within a city.
14. It is soft on the planet and has a strategy to reduce GHG and other harmful emissions. And when it comes to mobility and public space:
1. The city offers more and better choices.
2. An active policy guaranteeing mobility and access for all who live there.
3. You can live there quite happily without owning a car.
4. But on the other hand, offers a considerable range of other, and mainly shared, modes (carsharing, ridesharing, bike sharing, shared taxis, DRT, and electrical main line transit systems (urban rail, trams, trolleybuses)
5. It is plugged in, smart if you will.
6. It has a strategic parking policy working to reduce the space of the parked car in the city (rendering this valuable public space available for other social and amenity uses)
7. The body of existing experience and knowledge is altogether sufficient and available to those cities that would put it to wok. It is not a knowledge problem.
8. Nor a technology problem (to the contrary)
9. Nor is it a money problem.
10. It is leadership and awareness challenge (the hardest of all).
