More translations of the SUMP guidelines and decision-makers summaries now available

Publication of Guidelines and Summaries for developing and implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) (2nd edition) has piqued interest across the world. The fundamental principles apply not just in the European context - but can be applied to cities globally, taking into account local context, governance, and transport conditions.

SUMP Guidelines

The 2nd edition of the SUMP Guidelines was made available to cities worldwide in 2019. Meanwhile, many national institutions have been working to translate the SUMP Guidelines into their own language – to make them even easier to use and to establish the concept of SUMPs in their own country.

The Latvian, Czech and Slovak versions have now been developed. With this release, Latvian, Czech and Slovak decision-makers and planners are encouraged to apply the concept of SUMP and establish integrated planning practices.
