Context
Real estate projects have a direct impact on mobility behavior and can concretely influence travel demand from the start of a project. However, the impacts of travel linked to such a project are rarely assessed before the project is designed, both in terms of its location and the urban structure of the plot to encourage walking, cycling or access to public transport. On the contrary, a poor analysis of mobility is often the blocking point of a project during public inquiries and in the process of obtaining a planning permit.
The objective of this course is to highlight the interrelationships between real estate projects and the way people move. It will be of interest to anyone involved in the development of a new real estate project, whether residential, economic or recreational (real estate developers, land use planning agencies, public transport companies, mobility service managers, local authorities, etc.).
Training objectives
1
Understanding the impacts of the location of human activities on travel behavior
2
Discover innovative projects that have radically changed mobility practices
3
Obtain a programmatic vision on how to develop projects and design buildings and their surroundings that promote the use of walking, cycling and public transport.
4
Take into account the evolution of the vehicle fleet and the use of new forms of mobility (bicycle, micromobility, car sharing) to provide suitable parking and electric charging interfaces
5
Have a good knowledge of the constraints and opportunities of town planning rules (permits, standards, town planning taxes, etc.)
6
Have a good knowledge of the constraints and opportunities of town planning rules (permits, standards, town planning taxes, etc.)

Stakeholders
Barbara Colfs
Urban architect, Barbara works at ICEDD as project manager. She trains mobility advisors in Wallonia on the link between mobility and territory. His experience at the City of Namur in supporting real estate projects from a mobility perspective, from the project stage to the analysis of planning permits, has enabled him to develop numerous tools, from the plot to the district.
Thibaud Hilmarcher
Thibaud Hilmarcher works at Tractebel as Product Development & Innovation Manager for Europe. He is an expert in low-carbon mobility and participated in the development of Tractebel's TracToZero approach which combines mobility, energy and infrastructure to integrate low-carbon mobility solutions in buildings.
Pierre-Yves Ancion
Pierre-Yves Ancion has a doctorate in environmental sciences. He is responsible for the “environment” division at STRATEC where he coordinates environmental assessments (impact studies, reports on environmental impacts, etc.) on mixed real estate projects or transport infrastructure projects such as the Grand metro. Paris Express.
Jean-Philippe Lens
A bioengineer by training, Jean-Philippe is project manager at ICEDD with more than 15 years of experience in different design offices where he worked on impact studies, revisions of sector plans and territorial developments plans. He has worked for public and private clients on neighborhood projects.
This project is supported by EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union. EIT Urban Mobility acts to accelerate positive change on mobility to make urban spaces more liveable.
