This research aims to better-understand ordinary mobility cities in England and Germany, which are cities between 50,000-1,000,000 population that have the most average transport statistics in areas such as car ownership, and the amount that people walk, cycle, take public transport and drive. Transport research often focuses on unusual places, and so having more information on more ‘normal’ places should help transport policymakers to design better policies. We want to describe what these places are like, how they have changed over time, and understand what has led these changes, exploring factors ranging across the urban fabric, spatial layout, built form and infrastructure as well as politics, policies, and cultural factors. The research determines a set of “ordinary mobility cities” in both England and Germany and further identifies two in each country to conduct deep dives, to enable within-country and between-country comparisons.
