Why and how does competitive tendering drive improvements in mobility?

“We cannot think about mobility without thinking about urban planning. The way a city is designed and organised ultimately dictates mobility flows. So if we want mobility that is smoother and more sustainable, urban planning needs to integrate these issues from the very beginning. This means we must stop thinking of the city as a stacking of neighbourhoods or functions, and instead see it as an ecosystem where mobility is the link that brings the whole together. And this is where urban furniture plays a key role, because it sits at the interface between public space and the user. It must be designed to facilitate movement, provide real‑time information, and make the city more legible and accessible for everyone.”
