Perspectives on Mobility Cultures
in Megacities
Gebhard Wulfhorst, Jeff Kenworthy, Sven Kesselring
and Martin Lanzendorf
Abstract Megacities are facing multiple challenges in urban mobility, linked to
energy scarcity and climate change, unprecedented urbanisation and suburbanisation,
as weil as local issues of social and spatial inequalities, traffic impacts on health,
severe congestion, conflicts over urban space and complex regional governance
tasks. This chapter explores how megacities can address these issues to create weil.:.
functioning mobility systems, while simultaneously enhancing their liveability, eco-
nomic performance and sustainability. Every city is unique and complex, so there is
no one simple solution. It is argued here, however, that the mobility culture concept
helps us to navigate a path through this complexity and find suitable mobility solu-
tions in each city. Some key outcomes of the mobility culture research and workshop
exchanges are discussed in terms of local policies for challenges, urban structure and
transport supply, the critical value of urban space, travel demand management and
creative processes in urban mobility development. Appropriate local strategies have
tobe developed by communities in a bottom-up and top-down approach.
Introduction
Megacities around the world are evolving in many different contexts. Some of the·.
key characteristics of these cities have already been identified in the
study of the fellowship programme on megacity mobility culture (see "Chap. 3'.':'
