What does this mean
in concrete terms?
Developing innovative actions. Since its formation in June 2000, this objective has been the spearhead of the City on the Move Institute (IVM).
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 transport, notably
through convenient and sustainable intermodality, e.g. the China,
Latin America, Taxis, Architecture,Cities at Night projects or the exhibition "the
street belongs to all of us";
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?
As the world’s sixth largest automobile manufacturer, PSA Peugeot Citroën, while excited by what this means in terms of opportunities, is also aware of the risks linked to the upheavals these represent to urbanised communities, home to 80% of Europeans, and progressively to an equivalent percentage of communities throughout the world.
PSA Peugeot Citroën fully assumes its responsibility as a major player in city life and has taken the initiative of setting up a non-profit making organisation devoted to the betterment of the “City on the Move”.
