Shifting Gears In Urban Transport Policyin The Realm Of Transport Policy, Ambitious Proposals To Reduce Car Usage And Foster Sustainable Transportation Encounter Fierce Opposition. Despite The Potential Benefits For Health And The Environment, Efforts To Transform Urban Landscapes Face Significant Resistance. This Discrepancy, Known As The ‘Active Travel Backlash Paradox’, Highlights A Gap In Understanding Between Vocal Dissent And Underlying Public Sentiment. In This Context, The Erc-Funded Atrapa Project Aims To Unravel This Paradox. Working Across Eight European Cities, The Project Uses Diverse Methods, From Spatial Election Analysis To International Surveys And Expert Interviews. By Probing Factors Behind Opposition And Acceptance Of Built Environment-Based Travel Interventions, Atrapa Paves The Way For Sustainable Transport Policies.
