Micromobility and Urban Planning
The rise of micromobility has significantly influenced urban planning, offering innovative solutions to address urban challenges such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and climate change. This chapter explores the impact of micromobility, encompassing electric scooters, bicycles, e-bikes, and other personal mobility devices, on sustainable and efficient urban transport systems. Drawing on the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the study emphasizes the need for sustainable mobility strategies to improve urban quality of life. As cities increasingly integrate micromobility into their transport networks, urban planning has evolved to accommodate these changes, leading to new concepts like the 15-min city, where essential services are accessible within a short walk or cycle ride. The relationship between urban planning and micromobility is reciprocal; urban design must adapt to support the growth of micromobility, while micromobility provides opportunities to reshape urban spaces. This paper examines how micromobility contributes to reducing car dependency, creating pedestrian-friendly streets, and enhancing the use of green spaces. It assesses how the planning and development of dedicated infrastructure, such as bike lanes, scooter parking, and multi-modal hubs, can facilitate the safe and efficient use of micromobility vehicles. Moreover, it explores how urban planners can leverage micromobility to promote social equity by improving accessibility for diverse socio-economic groups. The study provides an in-depth analysis of micromobility policies and regulations, underscoring the importance of collaboration between urban planners, policymakers, and micromobility providers to ensure equitable and sustainable growth. It also addresses the challenges of safety, infrastructure inadequacies, and the need for regulations to guide effective integration into urban transport systems. By investigating infrastructure requirements, policy implications, and societal adaptation processes, this research aims to contribute to the development of strategies that position micromobility as a key component in future urban mobility plans. Ultimately, the findings highlight how investing in micromobility infrastructure can reshape cities into more livable, resilient, and sustainable environments.
