“…The ways in which politicians and policy‐makers present the problem limits political debate. Case studies on the Turcot Interchange in Quebec (Van Neste and Sénécal, ) and the Via Parque Rímac expressway in Lima (Strauch, Takano and Hordijk, ) demonstrate that the emphasis on infrastructure facilitating automobility was politically framed as an essential prerequisite for local economic development. Such highly politicised solutions leave no room for a redefinition of the mobility problem beyond automobility, thereby disregarding the transportation needs of the communities directly affected by the motorways.…”

The outdoor electric escalator in Medellín's Comuna 13, part of an Integrated Urban Project aimed at bridging the city's socio‐spatial divide, did not fully accomplish the project's goal of increasing the mobility of 12,000 people living in the area, nor did it make a significant contribution to diminishing social inequalities. The escalator project can be considered a prestigious solution to an ill‐defined problem that did not take people's mobility patterns into account. Although the project succeeded in increasing civic pride and improving Medellín's image of modernity and progress, it also led to new social inequalities.

“…Extending the intimate connection between physical infrastructure as the final outcome of a process and its initiation we see that there are important planning infrastructural requirements, as shown by Van Neste and Sénécal (2018). In a study of francophone Canada, they explore the way in which shifting to a more sustainable transport policy was facilitated only through recognition of the multiple agencies which were affected.…”

SynonymsClimate change scenarios; Pathways to sustainable development; Strategic environmental assessment; Sustainability forecast; Trend analysis for sustainable development DefinitionChange scenarios for sustainable development consider alternative viable assumptions about future socioeconomic indicators and policies which affect local, regional, or global sustainable development. Scenarios are according to the United Nations (2014, p. 62) "plausible and internally consistent picture of the future. They are useful toolsoften making use of quantitative modelsto systematically explore the feasibility of visions and proposed future pathways towards their achievement. They provide information on the means of implementation that are needed and can be useful in monitoring progress."Change scenarios differ from trend analysis for sustainable development by incorporating uncertainty, in particular in terms of environmental issues. UNEP ( 2004) argues that "scenarios offer a means for examining the forces that shape our world, the uncertainties that lie before us and the implications for tomorrow of our actions today. A scenario is also a story, told in words and numbers, concerning the manner in which future events could unfold; analysis of a range of scenarios offers lessons on how to direct the flow of events towards sustainable pathways and away from unsustainable ones." Thus, whereas scenarios do not set in stone how the future will look like in terms of sustainability and economic development, it does allow us to make a more conscious choice of how society wants to live today, given how these choices could affect the lives of future generations.

“…The synergy effects obtained due to relatively short distances between service points and public transport nodes have great importance in shaping the residents' spatial behaviours. Thus, appropriate urban planning can frame the issues of mobility and accessibility by promoting certain locations (and densities) and through investments in infrastructure for walking or cycling (Van Neste & Sénécal, 2015).…”

Pedestrian accessibility of services as a measure of territorial cohesion at the neighbourhood level

Territorial cohesion, despite its initial ambiguity, has been successfully implemented in national and regional policies across the EU. However, its operationalisation on the local level remains a major challenge. This paper asks whether pedestrian accessibility of services and public transport nodes can be used as a measure of territorial cohesion at the local level. The presented research was conducted in 2016–19 in five neighbourhoods in Poland representing various settlement contexts: large cities, mediumsized towns and suburban areas. It adapted particular indicators of territorial cohesion established by ESPON to the neighbourhood scale. The highest levels of territorial cohesion expressed by users’ satisfaction were achieved in a neighbourhood in a medium-sized town, whereas in geographical terms, territorial cohesion reached higher levels in large cities. Despite those differences, the proposed research method based on pedestrian accessibility offers quantifiable and comparable results on territorial cohesion on the neighbourhood level.
