Abstract:

Mobility activities currently trigger the fastest increasing segment in fossil fuel emissions. This reflects a specific spatial structure in the distribution of land use devoted to residence, work, shopping, leisure and production. While a fundamental change in spatial structure (including infrastructure) is required to change mobility consumption patterns, this needs to be a long-term process, feeding back on the whole production system and connected to substantial carbon consequences. In the present study, these interactions will be described by means of a spatial computable general equilibrium model in order to evaluate the scope by which respective technological options and, more fundamentally, spatial restructuring can reduce mobility-related fossil fuel emissions.
