A chapter in European Cities After COVID-19, 2022, pp 67-81 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed mobility behaviour. Many commuters have been reduced due to the restrictions in everyday life, public transport has been avoided as a common means of transport and instead there has been a shift to private cars and walking and cycling. This article first analyses the developments and impacts of the pandemic on mobility in terms of public transport, car use and active mobility. The article then shows which new approaches can be taken by transport policy and administration to adapt to the crisis. It presents innovative measures that some cities have implemented during the pandemic to encourage resilient and healthy mobility. Finally, specific ideas are concluded on how the pandemic can be used as an opportunity for sustainable urban mobility.
