HARMONY

New mobility services and technologies represent a promising solution to meet the European Union’s target to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Moreover, the lately evidenced rapid innovation cycles and the changing urban conditions, as well as unexpected events (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) have resulted in an urgent need for disruptive solutions improving citizens’ wellbeing and achieving environmental targets. As a result, metropolitan authorities are striving to integrate multiscale spatial and transport planning tools which to explore and evaluate such solutions.

In this context, the H2020 project HARMONY’s vision is to enable metropolitan area authorities to lead a sustainable transition to a low-carbon new mobility era, by developing a Model Suite (MS) that harmonises spatial and multimodal transport planning models allowing HARMONY MS users to comprehensively model the dynamicity of the changing transport sector and spatial organisation in urban and regional areas.
