Cordula from Delano joined Tom on the show for Delano's Top of the Week. Up for discussion was the new mobility plan for 2035 announced by the Luxembourg Government.
The plan (nicknamed Modu 3.0) is a comprehensive infrastructure and transport plan for Luxembourg that focuses on using infrastructure more efficiently with an emphasis on so-called multi/inter-modal transport and the connections between how transport networks such roads, rail, bike and public transport. The strategy looks at urban areas and the connections between them, paying particular attention to where people can leave their cars when travelling from a rural area.
Mobility needs are set to increase by 40% in Luxembourg by 2035.
Last year alone, Luxembourg’s population grew by more than 10,000 people. By 2035, we’re looking at projections of more than 700,000 inhabitants (currently around 645,000). And that’s not including cross-border workers of which there are already around 200,000
At the same time, Luxembourg needs to reduce emissions from transport to meet its climate targets. By 2030, Luxembourg has committed to reducing emissions by 55% and to be climate neutral by mid-century. For transport, that means cutting emissions by 57% over the next eight years.
