Où vont les taxis ?
[Where are
the taxis going?]
By Richard Darbéra
Editions Descartes & Cie, “Les urbanités” collection
What does this mean
in concrete terms?
The IVM’s terrain, therefore, is experimentation – social, organisational, scientific, technical and cultural. In all these domains, the purpose of each project is:
to facilitate mobilities for individuals and social groups with specific difficulties, in particular people with visual disabilities, preteens, employees and people in social and professional difficulties (Mobilities for integration !);
To improve the performance and quality of urban travel, notably by well-planned and sustainable use of intermodal transportation systems. This goal is pursued through a number of projects: China,
Latin America, Taxis, Architecture, Cities at Night, "the street belongs to all of us" and "Dream cities, sustainable cities?" exhibition, or the new IVM program Climate change, urban mobility Cleantech and the city at home.
contributing to the development of cultures of urban mobility and civilities through the creation of an academic chair, an international student competition or a seminar on the topic “mobility and modernity” and regular publications.

Partnership and multidisciplinarity |
||
| With “City on the Move” as its founding concept the organisation is designed as a crossroads where all those with an interest in the city can meet, from those who make it, to those who live in it. It seeks to be involved in the changes taking place in terms of urban mobility in Europe and elsewhere in the world, and, through a multi-partner, multidisciplinary approach, | to contribute to the development of a mobility culture that combines the knowledge and the pleasures of travelling around in a city. A large part of the actions will, therefore, be developed with a variety of different partners, municipalities, other public institutions, individuals who use the town, as well as businesses and associations. |

EDITORIAL
Movement and mobility in the city, a right and a pleasure
In our increasingly urbanised and communicating society, mobility is taking on an ever greater importance, and its social, economic, and cultural value becoming increasingly crucial. The means for people, goods, and information to travel around, in a city whose facilities are easily reached, is, today, an essential social requirement. It conditions access to the home, the workplace, to education, recreation, culture, and to family relationships. As a result, the quality of the time and space in which this movement takes place is now a key issue in urban living, where the development of new technologies plays a major role.
Why
has PSA Peugeot Citroën decided to involve itself in this issue?
Passionné par les opportunités, mais aussi préoccupé par les risques liés aux bouleversements de l’univers urbain où vivent 80 % des habitants de l’Europe et bientôt des autres régions du monde, PSA Peugeot Citroën, sixième constructeur automobile mondial, prend ses responsabilités d’acteur de la cité et s’engage résolument en prenant l’initiative de l’Institut pour la ville en mouvement.
