Mobility is the real backbone of cities. The rapid physical expansion of cities and their overcrowding has generally not been accompanied by an adequate task of guaranteeing people’s mobility.

Nowadays, in order to achieve environmentally sustainable cities, it is necessary to reconcile the use of different means of transport with a harmonised regulation of the economic activity of companies dedicated to passenger transport or car rental.

The role played by the collaborative economy in this regard is relevant, as it has boosted the rental cars, bicycles, motorbikes and electric scooters that not only respond to the mobility needs of thousands of citizens, but also offer an alternative for sustainable mobility. However, the disorderly expansion of these collaborative economy platforms requires thoughtful regulation to harmonise mobility in cities with a wide range of transport alternatives.

For this reason, the chair studies sustainable and collaborative mobility, with the aim of responding to the needs for regulation and development of public policies that solve the problems that emerge with the constant changes that occur in the mobility of today’s societies.
