Sub/urban transport decarbonisation research ideas

What urban interventions can stimulate a reduction in total vehicle ownership and an increase in non-motorised modes? This might include research into the role of 15-minute neighbourhoods, step-change investments in active modes or new mobility services. How do we understand more about the variation in uptake between different communities and different authorities?

Looking at the difference between 'physical' and 'perceived' 15 minute neighbourhoods. We know where the 15 minute neighbourhoods ARE in our city region, but we dont know if they match people's needs, or what needs to be done to get them working in the way the principles of 15MN says they should.

There is software designed specifically to identify travel needs (including latent - non-revealed as travel behaviour) needs, across areas, which then works out the optimal way to satisfy these needs. It is sold by be use by the operators of demand-responsive transport and public transport in small areas and with few resources. Can this be trialled as applicable to sub/urban areas, and to specific nodes such as schools, large employers, leisure and health facilities and out-of-town shopping and retail, to specifically target car-dependent sites and practices with substition of car journeys with a suite of low-carbon and active mode options?
