Daily mobility of the inhabitants of Lille up to 2030

Abstract

The cross-sectional household travel surveys conducted in the major French agglomerations provide a rich data source on daily mobility, analysed here in an original manner by Zoran KRAKUTOVSKI and Jimmy ARMOOGUM. Their primary purpose is to obtain information for urban planners on the modes of transport used by city dwellers and on their reasons for travel. However, the fact that they are standardized and conducted on a regular basis means that they can also be used not only to identify patterns in daily mobility, but also to analyse changes in behaviour between successive cohorts of city-dwellers and, above all, to forecast future trends by age, taking account of the particular experience of the cohorts observed.
