Climate change is a key challenge for today’s transport systems, and calls for sustainable transport and low-carbon mobility are growing louder. Achieving low-carbon and sustainable mobility systems is a challenge in the context of expanding urban areas across the world. The potential of recent transport policy measures to support a transition to low carbon transport have been analysed in the context of urban form in Helsinki, Finland. The scientific article by Kirsi Mäkinen, Paula Kivimaa and Ville Helminen, “Path creation for urban mobility transitions - linking aspects of urban form to transport policy analysis” was published in an international journal Management of Environmental Quality (2015 Vol 26 4 E) and has now been selected by the journal’s editorial team as a Highly Commended Paper in the 2016 Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence.
