Low Emission Zone: smart strategies for lasting impact
Low Emission Zones (LEZs) not only represent a breakthrough in reducing urban pollution, but also an opportunity to redefine mobility in cities. Rather than being seen solely as a restrictive measure, LEZs can be the catalyst for positive change in how we move and live in urban environments. At Ingartek, we explore how to integrate these zones into a broader and more effective mobility plan.
Opportunities for innovation
Beyond the obvious benefits, BEZs offer a platform for innovation in mobility. These zones can be the perfect setting for the integration of shared mobility solutions, such as electric bikes and car sharing cars, which reduce reliance on private vehicles and optimise the use of urban space. Furthermore, BEZs can facilitate the expansion of smart infrastructures, such as electric vehicle charging stations and real-time traffic management systems, improving the efficiency of urban transport and making the transition to sustainable modes of transport more attractive.
The implementation of LEZs also presents a unique opportunity to integrate technologies that enable dynamic and adaptive management of these zones. Through the collection of data on mobility patterns and air quality, cities can adjust their policies in real time, ensuring that EPZs not only maintain their effectiveness, but also evolve with the changing needs of the population.
In addition, EPZs can act as catalysts for urban planning projects, transforming urban areas into pedestrian spaces, green spaces or community recreational areas. These interventions can revitalise urban centres, encouraging greater social interaction and a more inclusive and sustainable use of public space.
At Ingartek, we work on the implementation of ZBEs as part of a comprehensive urban mobility strategy. This includes from consulting on the planning and design of the zones, to the evaluation of their impact through data collection and analysis.
Implementing ZBEs with an innovative and user-centred approach can transform not only the urban landscape, but also the way we live and move within our cities.
