The CONUNDRUM project aims to identify a pathway for low carbon community mobility in small and medium sized towns that can be sustained and is sustainable. It adopts an inclusive co-creation approach to develop a community mobility strategy grounded in identified local needs and better utilization of existing assets. Building on this knowledge Niamh Moore-Cherry and her colleagues aim to demonstrate the importance of creating place-based approaches to national and international climate challenges through focusing on the intersection between bottom-up and top-down approaches. In their presentation, they outline their process for development of community mobility strategy and reflect on how we might scale the approach to provide local authorities with clear and actionable direction and tools that simultaneously respond to government commitments, policy frameworks and local community needs.
