Abstract
The urban and interurban mobility environment has been evolving in recent decades. Traditional factors that have been pushing these changes have been changes in motorisation, residential and urban sprawl, and the spatial distribution of the population, the workplaces and other societal relevant locations. Currently, more than a half of the world population is living in cities, reaching almost 72% in the European Union (EU), and it is estimated that over 80% of the European population will live in urban areas by 2020. The growth of the cities will also generate new city mobility challenges to be solved.
