Mobility and transport
We will contribute to a paradigm shift in sustainable mobility.
Encouraging people to exchange their car for more sustainable means of transport is one of the main urban challenges. In recent years, we have witnessed the transformation of the mobility and transport sector, but it is necessary to continue to develop conditions for the transition from patterns to happen.
Therefore, it’s necessary to bet on smooth mobility (such as cycling or walking) and multimodal mobility.
At Setúbal Knowledge City we will explore innovation, creativity and originality, contributing to the reputation of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area as an international example of sustainable urban mobility.
Our strategic vision
We are going to build a Knowledge City committed to the global goals of carbon neutrality, guaranteeing excellent air quality and noise levels. In this way, we will promote well-being, the health of citizens and biodiversity, supported by a model of city proximity. Electric mobility, shared mobility and smooth mobility will take you to the first city in Portugal without cars.
Como pretendemos chegar até aí?
Knowledge City planning will:
- Define an urban model that follows the principle of “15-minute city”, where the population can access on foot or by bicycle the services that are most relevant in their daily lives;
- Define the infrastructure network and public space in order to encourage mobility in active modes and public transport, following the technological evolution of mobility and urban logistics;
- Define transport corridors on its own site, which allow an effective connectivity from the Knowledge City to the metropolitan public transport network;
- Define a network with several pedestrian and cycling spaces that allow internal and external connectivity to the Knowledge City.
The development of the mobility and transport cluster is a disruptive approach by Setúbal Knowledge City in favor of this sector, based on technologies such as smart grids, artificial intelligence, decarbonisation and circular economy technologies, robotics and automation.
