This research-based thrust investigates how new mobility technologies impact urban development and land use. Key areas include:
- Land Use: Examining the potential of new mobility, including AVs, to stimulate mixed-use developments and reshape urban land use patterns, as well as how new land use can facilitate the adoption of new mobility technologies.
- Real Estate: Analyzing the effects on parking demand, real estate development, and the configuration of buildings and blocks.
- Urban Design: Assessing the demands on urban design, including curb usage, green spaces, and pedestrian areas, and the reversed impact of urban design on the adoption of new mobility technologies.
- Municipal Budget and Financing: Evaluating the impact of new mobility on public infrastructure investments and municipal budgets.
