PROMISE

PROMISE adopts a multi-pronged approach: 

(1) developing a GIS-based Micro-Mobility Decision Support Tool (MDST) for data-driven planning; 

(2) establishing co-creation living labs in five European cities (Brasov, Osmangazi, Rethymno, Bochum, Cologne) to test solutions in real-life contexts; 

(3) building a collaborative planning framework involving municipalities, citizens, service providers, and businesses; and 

(4) evaluating impacts to refine and scale successful models. 

Activities will include piloting cargo bikes for deliveries, improving accessibility for underserved groups, and designing integrated policies. These steps will directly reduce car use and enable cities to adopt sustainable, context-specific mobility strategies.

PROMISE anticipates a measurable reduction in car use (up to 30% in pilot areas), improved integration of micro-mobility with public transit, and increased acceptance of alternatives among citizens. Broader impacts include reduced congestion, lower emissions, enhanced public health through active travel, and more equitable access to transport. Cities gain decision-making tools, tested policy frameworks, and replicable business and governance models. By aligning technical innovation with stakeholder engagement, the project supports capacity building for municipalities, fosters inclusive mobility transitions, and provides scalable solutions for the 15-minute City vision across Europe and globally.
