Let's JUMP into SUMP Planning for cities that our children want to live in

• Why talking about transport planning ?

• In Greece we have other problems

more serious problems

• It is about the crisis

• It is about money…

• …OK let us talk about money


• 100 km car driving

• makes a deficit of - 5 €

• 100 km cycling

• makes a benefit of + 75 €

What will happen?


What is the difference between

an UMP and a SUMP ?

• It is the

• SUSTAINABLE

• To plan a city our children and their children want to live in

A plan for our children

• Children want to cycle and don’t want to sit on the back seat of mama’s or papa’s car-taxi

• But parents are afraid

• What are they afraid of?

• Too many cars and too fast cars

• So we cannot fullfil our children needs

• Currently we don’t give them the chance to develop in a healthy way

• This a result of UNSUSTAINABLE planning


Is the increase of car traffic a natural

law ? • Is the growth of car use like a sunrise or a sunset ?

• Or like an earthquake ?

• No it isn’t

• But we have to reconsider wether it is ”normal” to plan for machines instead of children

• It happens so often that the citizens in many European cities have accepted it as “normal”

• But it isn’t – as examples show

like Odense, Bolzano, Freiburg,Copenhagen …

Is the increase of car traffic a natural law ?

The future city should be our

every day “trainings centre”


A city with great public life

“If you can make it here, you’ll

make it anywhere”


• Walk the walk: Create great pedestrian environments,make walking trips

more direct, interesting by connecting the blocks

• Powered by people: Create great environments for cyclists

• Get on the bus / tram: Provide great, cost-effective public transport

• Cruise control: Provide access for clean passenger vehicles at safe speeds and

in significantly reduced numbers

• Green logistics: Service the city in the cleanest and safest manner.

• Mix it up: Mix people and activities, buildings and spaces and build dense.

• Get real: Preserve and enhance the local, natural, cultural,

social and historical assets.

• Make it last: Build for the long term. Sustainable cities bridge generations.

They are memorable, malleable, built from quality materials, and well maintained.

The principles of for

sustainable transport in a future city in reference to Jan Gehl
