The first European Conference on sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs), entitled Planning for a Liveable City, will be held in Sopot, Poland, on 12-13 June 2014.

A sustainable urban mobility plan is a strategic plan designed to satisfy the mobility needs of people and businesses in cities and their surroundings for a better quality of life.  The concept of sustainable urban mobility plans has gained considerable momentum in recent years. Many cities across Europe are currently working to integrate this concept in their daily transport planning practices.

The conference offers mobility planners and implementers from all over Europe an opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the field of sustainable urban mobility plans, attend workshops on hot topics in urban mobility planning and find out what European projects have to offer for local and regional authorities.

The conference will offer a creative environment to explore how planning can contribute to developing liveable cities. Participants can learn and bring in their own ideas and experiences in parallel workshops covering a wide array of themes.
