Urban Mobility

Visit website

Most of the world’s population already lives in cities – a figure set to rise in the coming decades. Urban areas must be safe, accessible, and affordable, with efficient transport, improved infrastructure, and cleaner air. To sustain a high quality of life, citizens must play an active role in shaping these solutions.

EIT Urban Mobility supports cities as real-world test environments where partners, residents and innovators co-create and test new transport solutions. This work aligns with key European Union strategies and initiatives, including the European Green Deal, the Cities Mission for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, Horizon Europe and the New European Bauhaus.

EIT Urban Mobility’s living labs enable smarter, greener and more inclusive ways of moving people, goods and waste, helping cities remain liveable, breathable, and accessible to all.

Innovation-driven research – collaborate with universities, research institutes, and city partners to test and refine new mobility technologies through real-life pilots and living labs and help turn research results into market-ready innovations.
