Vol. 1 No. 2 (2024): Seeking the Sustainable Urban Mobility
Every day, millions of people and packages go through a terrible journey to reach their desired destinations in urban centers. However, regardless of the reason, people are at the heart of the issue, as they are the ones who need to travel, whether for work, health, leisure, or education, among other activities, and they are the ones who generate a huge demand for moving packages to their homes and to supply a multitude of businesses that aim to meet human needs. The result of these movements is huge traffic jams and, worst of all, an increasingly unsustainable environmental impact. Will the electrification of the fleet solve all our problems? Or do people and companies finally need to adopt sustainable actions? Are all trips really necessary? Can we minimize our impact by changing our consumption habits and behaviour? Ultimately, improving urban mobility involves more than apps, technological innovations, and mitigating environmental effects. A revolution in our way of life is necessary, and it should not happen tomorrow, but every moment and every instant in which we live. Are you prepared to do your part?
