Â鶹´«Ã½

In the ongoing change in mobility, Aalto University aims to be a pioneer and boldly grasp international megatrends, such as the sharing economy, and electronic and automated transportation. Being a pioneer means looking at mobility from a sustainable development perspective and promoting it.

A sustainable mobility action plan has now been published for the Otaniemi Â鶹´«Ã½, which also connects to Aalto's living strategy. The plan has been developed user-centrically and in close collaboration with the entire community. The basis of the plan includes a comprehensive mobility survey, workshops, and student interviews.

Investment in wellbeing and comfort

The sustainable mobility action plan aims to increase the proportion of trips made using sustainable modes of transport on the Otaniemi Â鶹´«Ã½. It contains a vision and objectives also concrete suggestions for implementing the plan.

"Our vision is that it should be pleasant and easy for everyone; students, staff members, or visitors to arrive at the Otaniemi Â鶹´«Ã½ using sustainable means of transport. Diverse and accessible routes provide equal opportunity to move within the Â鶹´«Ã½ area. At its best, sustainable mobility is an investment in people's wellbeing and the comfort of the Â鶹´«Ã½," says Project Manager Aapo Pihkala from ACRE.

The starting point for the development of the entire Â鶹´«Ã½ is to create a comfortable environment where innovations serve people and ensure the preservation of the area's cultural character and biodiversity. The sustainable mobility action plan also serves as one of the guidelines and background information for future Â鶹´«Ã½ development projects.
