Marseille

Organised into 16 districts and 111 neighbourhoods, the city shows significant territorial disparities. The peripheral neighbourhoods, particularly in the north of the city, are marked by inequalities in access to public services and transport infrastructure, posing major challenges in terms of social cohesion and territorial equality (access to services and employment).

Through periASTY, the Living Labs expects better connections to public transportation thanks to micromobility services, as well as improved access to mobility and employment through the deployment of intermediary vehicles for low-income residents in the northern neighbourhoods.

Topics covered

Circle Orange

Mobility

Innovations to be demostrated

  • Supporting low-income suburban households in their use of intermediary vehicles in order to get closer to employment
  • Testing the deployment of micromobility services in suburban areas, in conjunction with public transportation infrastructure
  • Testing the Citiz business model in suburban areas as part of their car-sharing fleet
  • In addition, the city of Marseille will acquire about ten very light, intermediary vehicles, for municipal services in order to electrify its vehicle fleet.
