MORE
MORE project aims to develop design concepts that encourage street activity and reduce traffic dominance by considering the needs of all road users.
Corridor roads are under pressure. As the population and economy grow, mobility levels increase. Meanwhile, the demand for transport becomes increasingly diverse. These factors put the network's reliability at risk for passengers and freight and call for more efficient use of road space.
Against this backdrop, MORE will explore experimental options such as flexible use of kerb space and dynamic allocation of road space to accommodate different functions.
The project concentrates on the urban feeder-roads of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Their efficient functioning is vital to the local and national economy and the success of the TEN-T. But higher traffic volumes might also lead to increased air and noise pollution, accidents, congestion and CO2 emissions – affecting the economic efficiency and the health and well-being of the population, demanding countermeasures.
MORE brings together a consortium of organisations including, POLIS, European Cyclist Federation, International Road Union, UCL and more. The project will develop and review tools and procedures in five nodes of the TEN-T: Budapest, Constanta, Lisbon, London, and Malmö.
Check some of the project's key outputs below!
- MORE Better Streets for Better Cities: Summary and Key Recommendations (2022): The key aspects of MORE topped with lessons learnt and tips from all the five cities on how to engage in the holistic process of street space (re)allocation and design. You can read it here.
- MORE Better Streets for Better Cities: A handbook for active street planning, design and management (2022): Aiming at cities, professionals and institutions that want to engage in street space reallocation, the MORE project produced a Summary and Key Recommendations document, where only the highlights of the project, its outcomes and insights of the cities are presented, a comprehensive MORE Handbook for active street planning, design and management, where the process, tools, outcomes and recommendations are presented. You can check it here.
