Motion Digest Network: Revolutionizing Urban Mobility for Sustainable Futures
As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, with 53% of the global population living in urban areas as of 2021, and a projection to reach 67% by 2050, the challenges of urban mobility are becoming more critical. At Motion Digest Network, we are at the forefront of addressing these challenges, transforming urban centers into sustainable, livable communities. With 64% of all travel kilometers currently made within cities, and an expectation for urban kilometers traveled to triple by 2050, the urgency for sustainable solutions is clear.
Embracing the 15-Minute City Concept
Central to our mission is the innovative 15-minute city concept. This approach envisions a city where all residents have access to essential amenities within a 15-minute walk or cycle from their homes. By reshaping urban areas into compact, walkable communities, we aim to significantly reduce the need for long commutes, thereby promoting active transportation and reducing environmental impacts.
Innovating Urban Transportation
Our strategy includes a tailored approach to public transportation. We are exploring the use of efficient, electric micro-vehicles and shuttle vans for intra-city travel, complementing the existing mass transit systems for longer distances. This approach is designed to ensure high accessibility and minimize environmental footprints.
Creating Shared and Calming Streets
We advocate for the concept of ‘sharing streets’ in commercial areas, where pedestrian traffic is prioritized, and motor vehicles are accommodated at walking speeds. In residential areas, ‘traffic calming streets’ with speed limits capped at 25kph are aimed at creating safer, more peaceful neighborhoods.
Promoting Micro-Mobility
To further encourage active, healthy urban lifestyles, we are introducing various micro-mobility options. Bike and scooter sharing programs are integrated within the 15-minute city infrastructure, offering convenient and eco-friendly transportation alternatives.
Our Commitment
At Motion Digest Network, our commitment goes beyond envisioning a sustainable urban future; we are actively crafting it. Our immediate, practical solutions are paving the way for cities that are not only more livable but also vibrant and sustainable. Join us in our journey to redefine urban mobility and foster communities where sustainable living is the norm.
