A University Campus is similar to an urban model and in CAMP-sUmp project it was used as a test area for mobility policies related to public sustainable mobility. Currently, there was a low efficiency of connection among the different departments and activities inside the Campus and a low level of integration of spatial and mobility planning.
CAMP-sUmp was a project aiming to improve sustainable urban mobility planning instruments such as SUMP, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. The project lasted18 months and tested innovative mobility strategies for students’ flows inside the University Campus and their integration with the urban areas in the Mediterranean northern sea basin regions.
The CAMP-sUmp project was featured by a partnership of 7 Mediterranean Universities, including Magna Graecia University Foundation, Universities of Athens, Valencia, Cyprus, Split, Malta and Bologna. These institutions worked on the increase of awareness among decision makers on current situation of mobility in university area and its interconnection with mobility planning. At the same time they improved the capacity of public administrations to plan sustainable mobility in University Campus and integrated the Universities’ mobility management in a unique cities’ integrated planning.
CAMP-sUmp project was implemented through the priority Priority Axis 2, Fostering low-carbon strategies and energy efficiency in specific European Mediterranean: cities, islands and remote areas, of Interreg MED Programme and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
