Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the Mancomunidad de la Valldigna

The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (PMUS) are the instrument that analyzes and plans everything that has to do with the displacements that occur in a territory, both those linked to “obligatory” mobility, often linked to productive tasks, and those that take place and coexist with the rest of the activities that occur on the public space.

In the case of the Valldigna PMUS, the study covers the three municipalities of Benifairó de la Valldigna, Simat and Barx, for this reason, special emphasis has been placed on understanding what role each of the three towns plays in the whole, and what dynamics territorial events take place in that environment.

After the analysis phase, proposals capable of promoting sustainable mobility have been drawn up and planned, both in terms of infrastructure design and management and planning. In addition, special emphasis has been placed on communication and urban pedagogy, understanding that the transition to active and sustainable mobility also requires a change in habits that affects all the agents involved. 

It can also be said that one of the objectives of the Plan has been to understand sustainable mobility as an opportunity to improve the living conditions of the citizens of Valldigna, but also to promote sustainable tourism, capable of revaluing the territory and generating new economic opportunities.
