About
SAFERUP! aims to provide the European community with innovative solutions that will form the urban paved environment of the future. Footpaths, bike lanes, roads, intersections, squares and all other walkable surfaces that we all use every day will be designed, constructed and managed to meet context-sensitive criteria including not only safety, mobility and costs (construction and maintenance), but also sustainability, environmental impacts, accessibility, aesthetics, circular economy and local economy preservation.
Urban areas have become a jigsaw of living spaces delineated by roads, special lanes, bike lanes, footpaths, squares and the numerous walkable surfaces that permit people’s daily mobility. Urban pavements cover about 40% of urban areas and are the largest and most expensive public property on which people travel every day and they must accommodate all users in the most efficient, safe and enjoyable possible way in modern Smart cities
In a 2020 society that will aspire to more liveable cities , a novel approach on how urban pavements are perceived, designed, built, maintained and managed is urgently needed. Safety, sustainability, resilience, accessibility, smart features and aesthetics are the key characteristics that Europe should invest in, forming the new generation of European professionals that will be able to face the issues related with the aspiration of people for a better, more liveable, urban environment.
In this context, the participants of SAFERUP! agreed to foster the creation of a cooperative academy-industry Training-through-Research programme that aims to drive the development and adoption of more Sustainable, Accessible, Safe, Resilient, and Smart Urban Pavements.
