Background and urban mobility challenges in 2011 - VINCI Energies

Since the turn of the century, urban and suburban transport has undergone profound change. People are travelling differently, more frequently, for increasingly diverse reasons, using an ever-broader array of transport systems.

Facilitate urban mobility and reduce pollution 

The increase in the number of trips in cities and their outskirts has prompted local authorities to take a fresh look at the way these systems are analysed and managed.

Most local authorities now strive to develop and combine a variety of transport systems in order to facilitate urban mobility and reduce pollution and congestion. The resulting major projects have served as a springboard for rethinking the urban area and creating momentum for renewal to serve the local population.

For a sustainable urban mobility

In France, government and local authorities are massively investing in innovative urban mobility infrastructure. These increasingly complex projects must take on board the issues raised by their introduction, including sustainable development, a priority that VINCI Energies shares with its customers.

Indeed, to blend the infrastructure into its environment, architecture and landscape are now essential criteria in implementing an urban mobility project.

VINCI Energies designs and builds environmentally friendly infrastructure and is steadily implementing processes that reduce the environmental footprint of its projects.
