Transportation by means of vehicles with conventional internal
combustion engines contributes substantially to downtown exhaust emissions
and noise pollution. The privately owned car is a temptation to frequent
use and reduces the living space of cities by requiring immense, sealed paving
surfaces for moving and parked cars.
Car-sharing and car rentals contribute greatly to changing habits of use and to reducing the number of passenger-kilometers travelled. Downtown transport stretches usually lie within the range of electrically-powered vehicles. Solar facilities and solar rechargers provide CO2-free energy for SolarMobiles. In accordance with the holistic concept of the International SolarCenter, users and visitors are offered a climate-friendly mobility program. Recent regional, urban, and transportation planning is characterized by its orientation toward the needs of people, especially in the spatial integration of the central living areas of housing, working, shopping, and leisure.

Solar urban planning, as described in Solar Bridges Number
3, assumes the integration of all emission-reducing means of transportation
with their specific advantages in an optimal mobility complex.
By settling innovative automobile and rental companies, Berlin will take the lead in reducing CO2 in traffic. |
