Abstract
This article presents a literature review of Transition Experiments applied to the Sustainable Urban Mobility context from a critical and operative point of view. The moment of transformation that we are living through determines concerns about the decarbonization and compliance with the 2050 Targets and imposes a paradigm shift towards sustainable urban mobility. In this regard, the necessary physical change will have to be accompanied by a socio–cultural transition, of which the challenge implies the construction of a collective ideal, shared by the population and the main stakeholders, leading to the opening of new political spaces and a change, also in terms of governance.
Highlights
The last decade has seen an enormous evolution of research on Transition Experiments (TE) for sustainability, but at the level of specific application of these theories towards Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUM) [1–14], there is still a long way to go, so it is pertinent to review the current state of the situation in this regard
Considers that strategies to promote Sustainable Urban Mobility will have to be framed in packages of “push & pull” and “hard & soft” measures, not neglecting the participatory process and involvement of society in the urban design and options that frame a transversality of scales before the decision making [16]
The search was restricted to publications of documents dedicated to the approach of Transition Experiments and sustainable urban mobility, which generated the compilation of about 118 publications
Summary
The concept of Transition Experiments (TE) is quite recent (it emerged at the end of the 20th century) and is intrinsically associated with sustainable development. The aim of this article, which adheres to the precepts of a systematic literature review, is pursued by the following research question: How do the transition experiences apply and how can they contribute to the promotion of Sustainable Urban Mobility?. 2022, 2 is fundamental to ensure that immediate Mobility actions are being guided by a long-term vision based on a sense of responsibility for global commitments [16]. This understanding is in line with the spirit and overall vision of the present article, which focuses on the methodology of TE applied to the promotion of SUM.
