ABSTRACT
Global trends, such as rapid urbanization and motorization, pose tremendous challenges to urban mobility and accessibility. Yet, the changing context within which these are occurring, and the experience it is generating, present new opportunities for advan-cing innovative policies and programmes for sustainable development as a whole. The previous chapters have discussed the scope and depth of numerous contemporary challenges and best practices in urban mobility and accessibility worldwide. This closing chapter ties the analysis together and focuses on practices, policies and strategies that can be implemented, not only by local authorities but also by national governments. The crux of this chapter is an elucidation of the concrete ramifications of key messages espoused in the report pertaining to the shift from focusing on improving the efficiency of urban transportation to enhancing accessibility in the city as a whole.
