SUMMARY:6th European Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans
DESCRIPTION:The 6th European Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
 s will be held on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 June 2019 in Groningen\, The N
 etherlands. The focus of the conference is on providing support to sustai
 nable and active cities within the SUMP context\, i.e. how to make cities
  more walkable and cycle-friendly.\nThe European Conference on Sustainabl
 e Urban Mobility Plans is Europe’s leading annual event for all those inv
 olved in putting the SUMP concept into practice. It serves as a forum for
  policy makers\, local authorities\, urban transport planners\, academics
 \, NGOs and other mobility professionals. The event offers opportunities 
 to network\, debate key issues and to exchange ideas on sustainable urban
  mobility planning. Attendance is free of charge. The 2018 edition in Nic
 osia attracted over 500 participants.\nThe conference is co-funded by the
  European Commission in cooperation with the Municipality of Groningen.\n
 Revision of the SUMP Guidelines\nUpdated SUMP guidelines will be presente
 d for review by the SUMP community. Since their launch in 2013\, the guid
 elines have become the main reference for the development of Sustainable 
 Urban Mobility Plans and have been adopted widely across Europe. The Guid
 elines are currently being updated to reflect recent trends in mobility\,
  technology and society. At various sessions with different formats\, par
 ticipants are encouraged to provide their comments and feedback on the dr
 aft updated guidelines and give their views on long-term planning for sus
 tainable urban mobility.\nHost city Groningen\nGroningen\, a vibrant medi
 um-sized city in the north of the Netherlands\, has a tradition of being 
 a living lab for sustainable urban mobility. It is often referred to as a
  good practice example for mobility innovation\, including active and sus
 tainable mobility.\nGroningen’s mobility strategy\, a strategic vision fo
 r 2035\, is rooted in a long tradition of spatial planning for the city a
 nd the city-region. The plan is the result of an intensive co-creation pr
 ocess. Its general principle is: on foot or by bicycle if possible\, by c
 ar if necessary.\nGroningen aims at optimising multimodality\, zero-emiss
 ion and renewable energy\, safety\, inclusiveness and behavioural change\
 , while ensuring connectivity between the urban area and its surrounding 
 sparsely populated area.\nImmediately before the conference\, Groningen i
