ELABORATOR Consortium (URBANA et al.)

Overview

This material presents the Inclusion Plan developed within the ELABORATOR project to support the design and implementation of inclusive urban mobility interventions. It defines how cities identify, engage, and co-create solutions with groups that are vulnerable to exclusion.

The plan is part of a broader EU-funded initiative focused on climate-neutral and inclusive urban mobility. It provides a structured approach to ensure that mobility interventions respond to real user needs and reflect diverse perspectives across participating cities.

Highlights

The Inclusion Plan is based on a holistic and co-creative approach that integrates user needs, stakeholder input, and real data into the planning of mobility interventions. It emphasises collaboration between local authorities, service providers, and vulnerable user groups to ensure that solutions are both inclusive and practical.

The document outlines key objectives such as collecting and analysing user requirements, sharing data and insights across cities, and supporting the uptake of innovations through a twinning approach. As described in the executive summary (page 4), this includes gathering user feedback, behavioural data, and stakeholder perspectives to inform decision-making and improve mobility systems.

The plan also connects inclusion with broader project outputs, including the development of guidelines, policies, and roadmaps for integrating inclusive mobility solutions into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. It highlights the role of pilot cities and the collaboration between Lighthouse and Follower cities in testing and refining interventions across different urban contexts.

Conclusion

This material provides a clear framework for embedding inclusion into urban mobility planning and implementation. It supports cities in designing interventions that are accessible, equitable, and aligned with climate-neutral objectives.

By promoting co-creation and structured data collection, the Inclusion Plan helps ensure that mobility solutions address the needs of vulnerable groups and can be scaled across different cities within the ELABORATOR project.
