CIVITAS Summer Course

Sustainable Mobility for a Better Life

07-10 June 2016 | Malaga | Spain

OMAU - Urban Environment Observatory of Malaga

Camino de la Desviación s/n

The CIVITAS Summer Course is an interactive training event that is held in English. Participants will learn

from renowned experts and a selection of CIVITAS cities how sustainable mobility can lead to happy,

healthy citizens in a healthy city. There will be room to discuss the challenges and experiences of the

participants as well. The Summer Course will include practical assignments in the streets of Malaga to apply

the lessons learned during the presentations and discussions. Participants that successfully conclude the

Summer Course will receive a ‘CIVITAS Learning Centre’ certificate.

The positive effects of sustainable mobility policies go well beyond environmental and monetary benefits.

At the very centre of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) is the idea of quality of life. This includes

the level of happiness experienced by citizens, their sense of community and connectedness to other

people, their physical health and their mental well-being. Sustainable mobility can make a large

contribution to a happy city with healthy citizens. It also helps to create vibrant public spaces where people

can meet and local economy can thrive. Developing the offer of sustainable modes creates jobs and a well-

balanced parking management strategy generates funds while managing the ever-growing pressure that

cars put on public space.

The CIVITAS Summer Course is open for experienced mobility professionals, who would like to learn more

about the latest insights of economic impacts of sustainable mobility, as well as a new perspective on well-

being and happiness as indicators of good policy. The participation is free of charge, but in order to avoid

no-show, a deposit of EUR 250.00 is requested that will be refunded after participation at the event. For

further details, please proceed to the chapter ‘REGISTRATION’.

The CIVITAS CAPITAL project and the City of Malaga are pleased to invited you to the

CIVITAS Summer Course and looking forward to welcoming you in Malaga.

Marten SIMS | Happy City

Design is magical. I love being a designer because I believe that good design is a

force that can change the way that people think and act for the better. I am

most happy when working for good, change-making causes because the designs

that I produce can engage our multiple senses and allow us to make better

decisions for the ourselves, community and the planet. I carry out this

dedication to solving problems via the multidisciplinary design practice that I

founded: Beyond. My mission is to work with people who are trying to make the

world a more engaging, creative and resilient place. Most of my clients operate

in the non-profit, social, environmental and business innovation realm and work in the change-making,

sustainability and health–related fields. Although much of the design work I produce is graphical I also

work trans-discipline as a designer of objects, interactions, experiences and events, as an artist, curator,

researcher, teacher and facilitator. I work collaboratively when necessary, especially when there are

wicked problems on the loose! Similarly, I also believe in the power of group ideation workshops and as

such I work with two amazing groups as a facilitator: Design Nerds and Happy City. From 2012–14 I served

as a Citizen Member of Vancouver's Engaged City Task Force and, as with most serial volunteers, have held

numerous other volunteer, charity or pro-bono positions over my lifetime.

THE LOCAL CHALLENGES OF THE CITY OF MALAGA The group work will focus on three main themes the City of Malaga is currently working

on. Each participant will be assigned to work on one theme.

Intermodality

Background: According to its Sustainable Mobility Plan (SUMP), Malaga plans to implement intermodal

transport hubs, as well as park and ride facilities to enable the transfer from the private car to public

transport, such as bus, subway, and public bikes.

Challenge: As it is planned to implement the first park and ride locations in the city, any suggestions on

the management, suitable locations, as well as other effective measures implemented in other cities,

are welcome.

Bicycle mobility

Background: The execution of the bike lane along the east coast is scheduled soon. Its construction

faces many problems to solve, such as constructive solutions to broaden the promenade, solutions for

the removal of parking places for residents, standard criteria on roads with narrow section. Through

the CIVITAS initiative, the City of Malaga has implemented the public bike scheme with 23 stations. It is

expected to be improved and expanded to up to 123 stations. The mobility department of the City

Council has defined possible locations to be included in the action plans of the SUMP.

Challenge: The activities proposed in this field should be discussed for each location, as well as the

standardisation of criteria for their implementation, and possible solutions for areas with steep slopes,

which impede the extension of the bike public system.

Road safety

Background: Thanks to the CIVITAS Initiative, campaigns for school routes have been carried out. The

Malaga City Council also has conducted audits on school surroundings to improve traffic signals and

road safety. Now it is planned to carry out the physical implementation of school routes. For that,

firstly the procedure should be standardised, including solutions that built on the implementation

experiences of other cities, to specific problems that could appear. The strong support of City Council

in the promotion on bicycle mobility has led to an increase in cycling modal split, and also to a

progressive growth of the bicycle use in daily journeys.

Challenge: It is necessary to avoid daily conflicts that occur between pedestrians and cyclists, especially

on those streets with coexistence between both modes of transport. Ideas to avoid such conflicts

should be brought forward and discussed.

THE CITY OF MALAGA The CIVITAS City of Málaga is capital of the Costa del Sol, a metropolitan area of 1.2 million

people, as well as one of the most famous tourism destinations worldwide.

The city has been characterised by a strong demographic increase in the last 50 years, doubling its

population between 1960 and 1980. Currently innovation and cultural tourism are increasing their

importance in the city’s local economy. Since the approval of its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, several

actions have been developed such as pedestrian and traffic calming areas, dynamic parking information,

and priority lanes for public transport and bicycles. However, these initiatives need to be integrated in a

broader strategy, aiming at reducing private vehicle use and improving public and alternative transport.

The city's current main challenge is to become a knowledge-based economy through the development and

the collaboration between the University of Málaga and the Technology Park Andalusia (around 500

companies, mainly specialised in ICT applications). The improvement of cultural infrastructures (Thyssen

and Picasso museums, city centre and docks regeneration, etc.), is also increasing the role of cultural

tourism. The city presents a quite complete transport infrastructure, which includes a recently renovated

train station with high speed connections to major cities in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Seville,

Cordoba), and a public transport fleet composed by 242 buses covering 45 itineraries within the city. Two

metro lines are under construction, whereas the roadway system includes two highway rings: one close to

the consolidated city, and a second in the outside. Nevertheless, due to its rapid increase and disorganised

planning between the 1960s and 1980s, Málaga's citizens depend highly on private vehicles in its urban

areas with less connection. This, together with a strong 'car culture' (private motorised vehicles represent

42 percent of the modal split), lead to strong congestions in the central areas and main city destinations

(city centre, university, industrial parks). In addition, a clear road hierarchy is missing, whereas currently

heavy goods vehicles are allowed to go all through the main road system.

On the other hand, despite cycling and public transport representing just 0.4 percent and 12.6 percent

respectively, their importance in modal split is continuously increasing due to recent initiatives carried out

by the local government: 30 km of bicycle lanes, changes in the public transport itineraries and frequencies,

etc. The recently approved Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) aims at achieving several ambitious

objectives by 2025, through a realistic action plan. Measures include switching the modal split from the

current 42 to 14 percent in private vehicle use, together with a parallel increase in bicycle (9 percent) and

public transport (27 percent). Furthermore, compulsory itineraries for Heavy Good Vehicles (HGV) and new

access and traffic control policies will be implemented through ICT based traffic management tools.

THE VENUE The event will take place at the Urban Environment Observatory (OMAU) - Camino de la

Desviación s/n opposite the Morlaco Park. The venue is easy to reach by public transport,

though a walk of about 10 minutes uphill to the OMAU is necessary. In case of that you

need special assistance, please contact the organisers in advance.

In OMAU (www.omau-malaga.com)

programmes and projects are developed

which are co-financed with community

funds, basically European Regional

Development Funds and Cohesion Funds, on

a wide range of topics: urban planning,

infrastructure, social, environmental,

mobility or citizen participation, in

coordination with different departments of

the City Council.
