Accessibility Scenarios for a Post-car City

A post-car scenario for the city of Mykolaiv inspired the analysis of accessibility through the application of the Inclusive Accessibility by Proximity Index (IAPI), a tool designed to measure proximity-based accessibility and inform mobility policy decisions. The post-car city model is grounded in the formulation of place-based, integrated land use and transport policies that promote accessibility by proximity, thereby ensuring access to essential services and everyday oppor-tunities through active and sustainable mobility options. By applying IAPI as a proximity-oriented accessibility tool, this chapter identifies areas of Mykolaiv where active mobility can be enhanced through improvements in cycle-pedestrian infras-tructure, the revitalisation of public spaces to encourage conviviality, the strength-ening of public transport networks, the introduction of shared mobility systems, and the promotion of intramodality to support sustainable urban travel. Further-more, IAPI-based assessments orient the redistribution of essential services at the neighborhood scale, aiming to ensure equitable access to opportunities and to foster the socio-economic development of local communities across the municipality of Mykolaiv.
