Rethinking neighbourhoods for sustainable mobility

Several actions can promote more sustainable mobility at the neighbourhood level: organise the various functions of buildings, manage parking differently or offer new mobility services.

The work of Cyrille François and Liu Liu, postdoctoral researchers at École des Ponts ParisTech, aims to establish mobility scenarios allowing the combination of transport offers and user practices with a low environmental impact.

Cyrille François is a postdoctoral teacher-researcher. His work focuses on the environmental issues associated with the daily mobility of individuals. He is interested in mobility, not in terms of the simple use of a technology but as a social reality anchored in a specific territory.

Liu Liu is a Civil Engineer with a PhD in Urban Planning. She drew up the “Transit Oriented Development” scenarios for the European Metropolis of Lille and participated in the development of energy transition strategies in Île-de-France.

Cyrille François and Liu Liu are currently working on Les Lumières Pleyel neighbourhood in Saint-Denis as an experimentation ground. This onsite work is part of their post-doctorate project at the École des Ponts ParisTech (Laboratoire Ville Mobilité Transport) in the framework of lab recherche environnement VINCI ParisTech.

This talk is co-organised as part of Leonard‘s “Ensemble pour demain” conferences.

Environmental assessment of mobility in a neighbourhood based on life-cycle assessment
The trips generated by a neighbourhood are quantified and characterised using models for forecasting transport demand. The environmental impacts associated with these trips are then estimated using an LCA-type approach

Strategic modelling of mobility in a metropolis
Simulating the daily activities and mobility of people who live in or pass through a neighbourhood makes it possible to better anticipate the economic, social and environmental impacts.

LCA of neighbourhoods
Life-cycle assessment is a method to assess the environmental impacts of buildings and infrastructures throughout their life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials through to their end-of-lifetime handling.
