Comprehensive evaluation of previous SUMP before starting plan development
The Métropole de Nantes has evaluated the main successes and failures of the previous plan (2010-2015) to improve the new SUMP. For this evaluation, the metropolitan region carried out qualitative and quantitative surveys (addressed respectively to 20,000 and 1,000 people) to understand how the mobility behaviour has changed and how the population experienced and observed the different mobility measures implemented since 2010. Additionally, an expert group conducted a qualitative analysis and drew conclusions and recommendations for the next SUMP development. In this process, the consultation of the population and the participation of experts and stakeholders were crucial for the good preparation of the new SUMP.
