Guidelines on sustainable mobility

Abstract

As our urban areas face increasing pressure from population growth and environmental challenges, the need for sustainable and efficient transportation solutions has never been greater. This consolidated document is the result of four years of studies commissioned by the Local Councils’ Association Malta, as the first of four pillars of its Resident First vision launched in 2020, and undertaken by local architectural and urban design office, STUDJURBAN.

The document provides key insights into critical aspects of mobility in Malta, focusing on strategic measures to address pressing issues such as the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), parking management, walkability, shared transport, and last-mile connectivity. By identifying current challenges and outlining actionable steps, these insights aim to guide Local Councils, policymakers, key stakeholders, and residents toward a more accessible, eco-friendly, and efficient transportation system. It is to be noted that each of the five sustainable mobility documents collated within this publication are correct as of the time when they have been formulated, and are being presented in the order that they were issued, between the period 2021 and 2025. This summary serves as a foundational guide for policymakers, local councils, and urban planners to adopt a holistic approach to sustainable mobility.
