What is DREAMS?

The DREAMS project investigates how to create accessible, sustainable, and inclusive 15-minute neighbourhoods in low- to mid-density suburban and urban outskirts across Europe. Through six living labs we co-create and test mobility services, mobility hubs, and flexible activity hubs tailored to local community needs.

Our work produces a decision support tool, new business models, governance frameworks, and policy recommendations — all validated in real-world settings and designed to be transferable to similar urban contexts across Europe.

Our Living Labs

In six European cities with diverse urban characteristics in low- to mid-density suburban areas and urban outskirts, the DREAMS project conducts extensive research and testing. These living labs across Budapest, Brussels, Munich, Paris, Utrecht, and Vienna serve as real-world testing environments where we co-create and validate mobility services, mobility hubs, and flexible activity hubs tailored to the unique needs of 15-minute neighbourhoods.
