Sustainable urban mobility in a small city: the case of Conde-PB

Abstract

The National Urban Mobility Policy (PNMU) provides that cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants, belonging to metropolitan regions, or focused on tourist activities must create and approve mobility plans. Small cities, however, have specificities that hinder the development of this instrument. In this context, the purpose of the study was to examine mobility initiatives implemented in the municipality of Conde, State of Paraíba (PB), aiming at their replication in cities with similar socioeconomic conditions. A case study was conducted through documentary research in order to understand the context in which the initiatives were created and the results obtained. As a result, this research contributes to discussions related to sustainable mobility in cities by providing references to guide future efforts.
