ENHANCE

The sustainability challenges in the outskirts of metropolitan areas and towns often surpass those in inner-city districts, characterised by greater car dependence, struggling local retail centres, disintegrated housing, and weaker active travel infrastructure. The ENHANCE project aims to identify these barriers and improve local planning decision-making using 15mC principles. The extent to which daily travel needs can be met through local trips will be investigated by analysing actual travel behaviours. It will also identify barriers and measure progress towards achieving the 15-minute city goals. Through modelling future scenarios, the project could enhance accessibility via transport infrastructure, behaviour adaptation, or city redevelopment.
