## Featured rationale

Development-based mobility management and improved first-and-last-mile transport could shift planning toward transit-connected projects and more people-oriented streets and public spaces.

## AI summary

CLC and ULI published 10 recommendations for car-lite cities after workshops involving more than 120 transport, planning, design and real-estate stakeholders.

## Original article

The “car-lite” concept promises a new urban mobility model that is environmental friendly, socially inclusive and economically efficient. But how can cities go about achieving this ideal? The latest joint research project by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) on "Creating Liveable Cities Through Car-lite Urban Mobility" makes 10 key recommendations on how transport and urban practitioners can move towards a sustainable and car-lite mobility ecosystem. 

The preliminary research recommendations were presented earlier today at the World Cities Summit 2016. The response panel of esteemed city and industry leaders like Morten Kabell, Mayor for Environmental and Technical Affairs, Copenhagen; Konrad Otto-Zimmermann, Creative Director of the Urban Idea and Former Secretary-General ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability); Gabe Klein, Former Transportation Chief of Chicago and Washington DC; Kim Soo-hyun, President Seoul Institute; Dr Limin Hee, Director of Research, CLC; and Scott Dunn, Vice President, Southeast Asia AECOM and Past Chair, ULI Singapore, shared their personal experiences and perspectives on the role of sustainable urban mobility in creating liveable cities. 

As part of the research process, two multi-stakeholder workshops were organised in Singapore in the 1st half of 2016. More than 120 policy makers, experts, practitioners and industry representatives from diverse disciplines such as transport, urban planning, design and real estate development came together to share their insights and challenges (please refer to Annex A). The key discussion points generated were further developed, condensed and featured in the e-publication as “10 Ideas to Prepare Cities for a Car-lite Future” (please refer to Annex B). In summary, the 10 ideas are: 

i. Align visions, both internally and externally 

ii. Focus on people’s needs, work with competition and find win-win solutions 

iii. Create development-based mobility demand management strategies 

iv. Expand public transport amenities to cover the first-and-last-mile 

v. Planning Matters! 

vi. Put a stop to cheap and easy parking 

vii. Turn street design on its head 

viii. Use public spaces as common ground for public-private-people collaborations 

ix. Drive change through data-driven research and pilots 

x. Change mindsets and make car-lite mobility cool 

The research was made possible with support from the ULI Urban Innovation Grant program, which is funded by the ULI Foundation Annual Fund. The Fund supports ULI projects across the globe that foster collaboration between the public and private sector around responsible land use with the goal of building thriving, healthy communities worldwide. 

“Singapore is already one of the forerunning cities in the world when it comes to promoting sustainable mobility. Looking ahead, going car-lite is something that should happen to make the city-state more liveable. The more important thing is to really approach mobility from people’s perspective, not cars. We hope this joint publication will contribute in some way towards shaping a better mobility future and complement the government’s ongoing efforts by inviting contributions of inputs and ideas from other stakeholders”, said Mr Khoo Teng Chye, Executive Director, CLC. 

“Sustainable urban mobility is important to both emerging cities that are forming and existing cities that are redeveloping”, said ULI Chief Executive Officer, Patrick L. Phillips. “This latest research collaboration between CLC and ULI looks into the intricate relationship between sustainable mobility and the liveable urban environment. We hope lessons distilled will also be useful to other cities facing similar urban mobility challenges. ”

### CLC-ULI联合研究：为城市迎接“少车化”城市出行未来的10项建议

“少车化”（car-lite）概念承诺一种环保、社会包容且经济高效的新城市出行模式。但城市如何实现这一理想？城市土地学会（ULI）与宜居城市中心（CLC）关于“通过少车化城市出行打造宜居城市”的最新联合研究项目，提出10项关键建议，指导交通与城市从业者迈向可持续的少车化出行生态系统。

初步研究建议今日稍早在2016年世界城市峰会上发布。由多位备受尊敬的城市与行业领袖组成的回应小组，包括哥本哈根环境与技术事务市长Morten Kabell；Urban Idea创意总监、前ICLEI（地方可持续发展政府协会）秘书长Konrad Otto-Zimmermann；芝加哥与华盛顿特区前交通主管Gabe Klein；首尔研究院院长Kim Soo-hyun；CLC研究总监何丽敏博士；以及AECOM东南亚副总裁、ULI新加坡前主席Scott Dunn，分享了他们关于可持续城市出行在打造宜居城市中作用的个人经验与观点。

作为研究过程的一部分，2016年上半年在新加坡举办了两场多方利益相关者工作坊。来自交通、城市规划、设计与房地产开发等多元领域的超过120名政策制定者、专家、从业者与行业代表齐聚一堂，分享见解与挑战（请参阅附件A）。所产生的关键讨论要点经进一步发展、提炼后，以电子出版物形式呈现为《为城市迎接少车化未来的10项建议》（请参阅附件B）。概要而言，这10项建议是：

i. 对内与对外统一愿景

ii. 聚焦人的需求，与竞争共存并寻找双赢方案

iii. 制定以发展为基础的出行需求管理策略

iv. 扩展公共交通配套，覆盖首尾一公里

v. 规划至关重要！

vi. 叫停廉价且便利的停车

vii. 颠覆街道设计思路

viii. 将公共空间作为公私民协作的共同基础

ix. 以数据驱动的研究与试点推动变革

x. 改变心态，让少车化出行成为一种潮流

该研究得到ULI城市创新资助计划支持，该计划由ULI基金会年度基金资助。该基金支持ULI在全球各地的项目，促进公私部门围绕负责任的土地利用开展协作，目标是在全球建设繁荣、健康的社区。

“在推动可持续出行方面，新加坡已是全球领先城市之一。展望未来，走向少车化应成为现实，以使这座城市国家更宜居。更重要的是真正从人的视角而非汽车视角来看待出行。我们希望这份联合出版物能在一定程度上助力塑造更美好的出行未来，并通过邀请其他利益相关者贡献意见与想法，补充政府正在推进的努力，”CLC执行董事邱鼎财先生表示。

“可持续城市出行对正在形成的新兴城市与正在再开发的既有城市都很重要，”ULI首席执行官Patrick L. Phillips表示。“CLC与ULI这项最新研究合作，探讨可持续出行与宜居城市环境之间的复杂关系。我们希望提炼出的经验，也能对面临类似城市出行挑战的其他城市有所助益。”
