"The smart and sustainable city" is a frequently used term, but there is no clear definition of what it is. Design and development of sustainable cities are underlaid a wide range of concerns like energy use, materials, digitalization, urban ecology, or social sustainability. Green mobility is expected in the sustainable city, but it is our experience that research on how to achieve green mobility is far behind for example research on energy use. It is also our experience that micro mobility and autonomous public transportation rarely is lifted as a prerequisite for the smart and sustainable city. This is a challenge because mobility and choice of transport mode is a very important factor when it comes to climate gas emissions and sustainability.

The project aims are to investigate how future micro mobility and autonomous public transport, together with socio-economic data, effect the choice of transport modes, and how the future mobility modes can be implemented on Transport models at a macroscopic level, so the Transport models can be used as a tool in development of cities. Thereby transport models can be used to recommendations for micro mobility and autonomous public transport, as a prerequisite for urban plans is a necessity if the cities wish to take advantage of the potential in new transport technology. 

The project included a literature study regarding: what is micro mobility; who, why and when is micro mobility used? The literature study provided an overview of which data and information exist about micro mobility, and thereby also which information and data is not collected and available, and therefore lacking to carry out analyses regarding micromobility. During the project modelling of two cases in Norway was carried out. The cases contained topics such as the difference between renting or owning micro mobility; street parking or parking garages; traditional versus self-driving public transport; urban development with mixed or separate business/residence plans.
