Cities all over the world are in need for a more sustainable transport system, as is often
highlighted in research and publications on the subject of transportation and mobility.
Lowering greenhouse gas emissions, creating a safer environment, and encouraging
people to live a healthier lifestyle are all goals attributed towards the mobility transition.
Policies, information and awareness, but also the built environment can influence this
process. The densification of cities puts the mobility sector under even more stress, as a
larger amount of people have to use the same public domain. However, this also provides
opportunities as population thresholds for services such as larger scale public transportation
or centralized shared mobility infrastructure can be reached. A review of established
systematic literature is performed to determine the most important factors and indicators on
satisfaction and modal choice of more sustainable transportation methods, suitable for a
dense city. Spatial analysis will investigate on these findings in the context of Eindhoven and
provide the basis for the creation of a strategy to aid urban planners in the development
of dense neighborhoods, with the aim to aid society in the mobility transition. The findings
of the research will be used to develop a city-scale planning approach for Eindhoven,
with a particular focus on the Eastern part and connections to surrounding employment
and residential hubs. The type of interventions are focussed on strengthening green and
transportation networks in Eindhoven, and creating a safer mobility system. A section of the
neighborhood of Doornakkers will be further investigated, and used to display a proof of
concept.
