Integrating E-Mobility into multimodal transportation systems from a design and urban planning perspective
Summary
This paper has been developed by the Technical Univeristy of Berlin for the Project SOLUTIONSplus. The project has received funding from the European Union´s Horizon 2020 programme. This policy advice paper focuses on the integration of public transportation-oriented e-mobility modes into the current transportation system from urban planning and design perspective. Building upon a series on conceptual design processes in SOLUTIONSplus partner cities, it provides key recommendations for integrating e-mobility.
Key takeaways
Spatial integration of e-mobility (e-buses, e-bikes, e-scooters, charging hubs) into multimodal systems
Urban design principles for multimodal nodes and last-mile connectivity
Avoid-Shift-Improve framework applied to e-mobility
Risks: eco-gentrification, displacement, informal operator exclusion
Placemaking and public realm enhancement through e-mobility infrastructure
Design studio case studies from seven cities across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America
Criteria for selecting charging hub locations (e.g., Pasig case)
Integration with NMT, road safety, greenery, and TOD principles
Importance of participatory planning, socio-economic analysis, and land-value capture
Need for city-specific spatial guidelines and visual identity for e-mobility infrastructure
