Lisbon: Metropolitan Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (PMMUS-amL)

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

The Metropolitan Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (PMMUS-amL) consisted of a complex mobility planning exercise at the metropolitan scale, aligned with population needs and sustainability, safety, and efficiency goals. Promoted by Transportes Metropolitanos de Lisboa and developed in collaboration with Way2Go, the initiative stands out for incorporating, from its inception, a Strategic Environmental Assessment process and a Participation Plan. The latter was integrated across different planning phases to engage stakeholders—commonly involved in such processes—as well as the general public, who are usually excluded from decision-making.

In Phase I, focused on characterization and diagnosis, entities responsible for mobility, transport, environment, and urban planning were involved. Through a World Café dynamic, they collectively identified a wide range of challenges and opportunities within the current mobility system of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.

In Phase II, dedicated to defining the Strategic Vision, the process was expanded to the general public through a participatory scenario-building exercise. Through an online and paper-based survey, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected to construct a desired scenario for sustainable urban mobility in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area by 2035, based on a “scenario backcasting” approach.

In Phase III, focused on defining Measures and Actions, public engagement was deepened through participatory assemblies held in five municipalities of the metropolitan area. Each assembly included up to 25 participants, randomly selected based on criteria such as age, gender, employment status, educational level, and municipality of residence. A total of 74 concrete and impactful measures were co-created and later integrated into the Program of Measures and Actions.

The participatory process, involving more than 600 participants, is innovative due to both its methodological complexity and the challenges of a metropolitan context. Contributions were integrated throughout the different phases of the Plan, and results were shared directly with participants as well as through public reports available on the PMMUS website.
