Abstract
A just transition to a sustainable transport system requires the inclusion of all groups. Without a social justice perspective, solutions risk reinforcing existing inequalities. With a focus on mobility hubs, a place where different transportation modes are integrated, this study aims to examine how gender and socio-economic status are addressed in the planning of a sustainable transport system. As well as the challenges and opportunities for mobility hubs to contribute to a just transport system. In this case study, mobility hubs in Malmö are analyzed by combining document analysis and one interview with a planner. In addition GIS analysis is conducted to examine how shared mobility is located in relation to areas with different... (More)
A just transition to a sustainable transport system requires the inclusion of all groups. Without a social justice perspective, solutions risk reinforcing existing inequalities. With a focus on mobility hubs, a place where different transportation modes are integrated, this study aims to examine how gender and socio-economic status are addressed in the planning of a sustainable transport system. As well as the challenges and opportunities for mobility hubs to contribute to a just transport system. In this case study, mobility hubs in Malmö are analyzed by combining document analysis and one interview with a planner. In addition GIS analysis is conducted to examine how shared mobility is located in relation to areas with different socio-economic conditions. Transport justice is employed as a theoretical framework to analyze accessibility and justice issues within the transport system. A feminist approach has enabled an intersectional analysis and a critical perspective of individuals' different opportunities and needs. The results show that gender and socio-economic status are addressed in visions of an equal city, but that broad formulations risk overlooking people's different needs. Furthermore, collaboration between actors is identified as both a challenge and an opportunity for developing just mobility hubs. In addition, mobility hubs in Malmö are located centrally, in areas with good socio-economic conditions, while shared mobility is more geographically spread across areas with different socio-economic status. This study shows that mobility hubs can promote a just transition, but it requires participatory planning to acknowledge different needs, shared visions among actors, and an even geographical spread of mobility hubs across all different socio-economic areas.
