The project involved developing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) for Arequipa, Peru. The goal was to assess the current urban mobility situation, establish a vision, objectives, and targets for the future, and identify appropriate measures and actions to achieve those objectives. The project is funded by the EUROCLIMA+ program, supported by the European Union, and implemented by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD). Our consortium, Egis & Rupprecht Consult, is responsible for developing the SUMP using the SUMP methodology, the eight SUMP principles, and the SUMP cycle, which have been adapted to the specific conditions of the local context.

The project aimed to develop a plan for the future of mobility in Arequipa based on sustainable urban mobility planning principles for the 21 district municipalities of the metropolis. The goal was to promote sustainable forms of travel, change citizen behavior to improve quality of life, ensure universal accessibility to public transport, and encourage the use of new technologies that reduce travel times, accidents, and greenhouse gas emissions.
The results were:
- The development of an integrated public transport network to enhance efficiency, safety, and accessibility
- Strategic programs and projects that improved the operation of freight transport and urban logistics
- Approval of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PMUS) of Arequipa, which was approved in April 2021
We provided strategic and technical advice during the development of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) in Arequipa as the knowledge partner on the SUMP methodology. We supported the entire SUMP development process by supervising and advising through each phase, step, and product to ensure they were in line with local conditions and met international SUMP standards. We played a critical role, particularly in the cross-cutting processes such as participatory and communication plans, capacity development, inter-institutional cooperation, and social and political processes.
