10 Challenges and Solutions for
the Future of Mobility Management

Cities around the globe are struggling to cope with disruptive changes to mobility management.
Based on in-depth surveys of more than 400 cities worldwide, we have identified ten critical challenges that stand in the way of achieving optimised mobility management.

These include: 

  • Rapid urbanisation 
  • Limited space on city streets 
  • Shared mobility opportunities growing faster than expected
  • Other urgent issues requiring immediate attention are inadequate cross-domain integration, poor transport connectivity and overstretched personnel and transport resources.
