Metropolitan Spatial Reconfiguration and the Mobility Transition: Sustainability Challenges in the Fragmented City

Within the context of the European Commission’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy for a transition to a green, smart, and affordable transport system, local governments of large cities have implemented private vehicle restriction policies. However, do these policies come into conflict with cur...
