10 The essential question for urban planners: Is there a problem of mobility? or: Is there a problem of accesibility?
11 A broader view on accessibility High accessibility INFRASTRUCTRE New connections Developments Congestion Population decline Low accessibility SPATIAL PLANNING
12 What policy goals? Integral planning 1 What city you want? (quality of life / welfare) 2 Accessible places (economic hotspots) 3 Coherent infrastructures (network design) Traffic management 4 Liveable streets (safe, healthy and accessible)
13 2 The use of instruments within policy making
14 What policy goals? Political Issues What is the future position of my city? Does traffic jam effect my economic position? How can I ensure accessibility in my city? Economical issues Is my economic basis sustainable? Are there enough customers? Are there enough qualified employees? Popular issues Is my neighbourhood accessible in the future? Are there enough jobs for me in the future? Can I sustain my lifestyle in the future?
15 What policy goals? Where is it a problem? System efficiëncy Causes of bottle necks Intencity/capacity What is my spatial potential? Economic potential Consequenses of bottle necks Travel time

24 Urban accessibility Gelderland Assignment: a different perspective on urban accessibility by using accessibility mapping Approach: Intregral: socio-demographic, economic, infrastructural, spatial Cases: Desk study + Workshops in 3 municipalities with a broad representative of policy makers
