The first workshop of the Living Lab was held on 23rd of February, 2022 in the hotel "Europe" in Sarajevo as part of the TRIBUTE project "Integrated and innovative actions to improve sustainable urban mobility". The main goal of the project is to improve urban mobility through the development of innovative, more efficient services and tailored solutions in line with the new EU goals of sustainable, integrated and inclusive mobility, which is the vision of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of Sarajevo Canton.
This workshop brought together all the relevant ministries, municipalities, private companies, associations and NGOs involved in the promotion of sustainable urban and electromobility. Workshop participants discussed how best to move from vision to roadmap to successful action planning and implementation. The special focus of the workshop was the concept of Mobility Island, which was presented by experts from CETEOR which is the consulting company from Sarajevo.
Mobility Island implies a vision of a “5-minute city”: the comfort and choice of shared electric mobility within a 5-minute walk of anywhere in the city. Mobility Island is a physical place that serves the discrete needs of the locality within which it is located. So, the ‘Lego’ analogy is the possibility of placing a different number of physical things, related to mobility or other services that suit that location. It also makes it easy to expand as needs change.
This concept consists of physical infrastructure such as land, smart lighting, charging stations for electric vehicles, a common e-Car service, electric wheelchairs for the elderly, renewable energy sources and digital services.
Participants concluded that cities need to transform their mobile infrastructure, services and habits that society has to move in and around their cities. In this regard, Mobility Islands presents a new concept, offering the potential to drive change by establishing a visible and very different concept of mobility.
The TRIBUTE project is implemented by eight cities in the Adriatic-Ionian region, namely Ljubljana, Maribor, Milan, Novi Sad, Patras, Podgorica, Sarajevo and Zagreb, led by Politecnico di Milano. The project is supported by the Interreg ADRION program funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the IPA II Fund.
