Study visits - Codatu

As part of its support offer to cities and AOMs in the South, CODATU organises study visits in France and in its countries of intervention on the theme of sustainable urban mobility. Visits are organised to our members and partners (RATP, Keolis, Société du Grand Paris, Metropole de Lyon, Agence d’urbanisme de Lyon, etc.) to exchange with experts on various themes defined jointly with the beneficiary organisation(s). The visits usually last 5 days during which meetings and field visits are planned.

Examples of topics covered during these visits are

Mobility governance and organising authorities
Mobility policy definition and planning
Multimodal and intermodal mobility
Shared mobility policies and public space management
Electromobility policies
Digital technologies for urban mobility
Gender issues in urban mobility systems
Public spaces and transitional urbanism
Active modes
Inland waterway transport
