Overview

Deliverable D3.2 presents the final Feasibility and Action Plans for all 12 ELABORATOR Living Labs, moving the project from its Discovery Phase into concrete action. Building on the preliminary assessments of D3.1, the document synthesises stakeholder insights, co-creation findings, and need-gap analyses to produce city-specific recommendations for refining and strengthening proposed mobility interventions. For practitioners, policymakers, and city partners, it offers a replicable methodology for bridging the gap between identified urban mobility challenges and targeted, people-centred solutions.

Highlights

The document applies a consistent analytical framework across all 12 cities. Each Living Lab mapped stakeholders and actors by level of impact, with particular attention to vulnerable road users, vulnerable-to-exclusion users, and "extreme users" who expose gaps that standard approaches miss. Cities then conducted need-gap analyses following a four-step process: assessing the current state, defining a desired future state using SMART goals, identifying root causes of gaps, and formulating realistic actions. Co-creation activities ranged widely in scale, combining surveys, workshops, interviews, and dialogues to engage thousands of participants across diverse groups. Cities found the structured approach valuable, though time and resource constraints meant engagement sometimes remained at a general level rather than reaching the full range of affected stakeholders.

Practical implementation

The findings feed directly into the final technical definitions of interventions for Lighthouse cities (D3.5) and Follower cities (D3.6), and into the twinning process through which approaches are adapted between cities. Iterative stakeholder feedback led to concrete refinements: Copenhagen prioritised repurposing parking spaces for green public areas, Liberec redesigned pedestrian pathways based on input from elderly residents, and Zaragoza adapted cycling infrastructure plans following engagement with children and people with reduced mobility.
