JUST STREETS

Human-centric urban data science with application in sustainable mobility and road safety.

JUST STREETS is aiming at changing the consolidated mobility narratives, which are taking for granted that streets should be made primarily for motorized traffic, to push forward a new vision of spatial justice, where streets are once more a place to be, play, meet other people.
JUST STREETS will foster a human-centred mobility concept, developing and testing solutions that meet the demands of the most ‘vulnerable’ (from now on, ‘valuable’) groups – the elderly, children and people with reduced mobility, pedestrians and cyclists – . These solutions will not only ‘protect’ citizens and road users, but will provide them with a healthy and happy space where social life is enhanced.
Ten pilot cities will be selected in order to co-create and experiment solutions for the street environment guided by placemaking and equity principles. The solutions could refer to the following categories (to be further expanded)
•experiments on healthy and happy streets (tactical urbanism)
•safe infrastructures and transport services
•enforcement and justice support system
•effective services (emergency, MaaS etc.)
•understanding of collisions and conflicts
•engaging the public.
