Four themes and corresponding strategic choices:
- 1. "the compact city"
-Prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists as well as achieving safe and slow traffic.

- 3. "city-friendly transport"
-Address safety and waste management considerations in the creation of new and existing spaces.
- 4. "region and node development"
-Mobility hubs are the key for a mobility network.
- Implementation follows an area-based approach incl. different instruments (center environments, pre-war districts, post-war districts and regional context and mobility hubs)
Overall goals until 2040:

Area-based approach:
- goal: the mobility system will be made more tailor-made
Efficient use of existing space:
- shared mobility is an instrument for making space in public areas
- logistics mobility hubs with smart digital technology for efficient goods transport
- private cars are parked preferably on private property
Accessible mobility networks:
- a suitable network for intersection level and network level
- residential and commercial development should include easily accessible parking
- realization of a hubs system for the entire region
- reinforcement for the public transport sector
- idea of neighborhood hubs
- develop a network of metropolitan bicycle routes

- Smart Mobilty is not a goal in itself, but it is a tool to achieve social goals.
Vision of Smart Mobility: three pillars of mobility 1. physical and digital infrastructure Goals until 2030:
- flexible setup (incl. data management) for expected and unknown mobility solutions
- smart systems to share data to control and steer the infrastructure
2. mobility solutions

- municipality responsibility for affordable mobility
- wherever possible, strengthen the public network as basis
3. travelers
