Identification of SUMP stakeholders across sectors and modes of transport
About this good practice
Resources needed
Regarding the financial aspect, financial resources are limited as it only requires time for selection of stakeholders. Moreover, all stakeholders participate to the SUMP development on a voluntary basis.
Evidence of success
Due to their status and expertise/representativeness, the organisations were further consulted individually, via over 25 bilateral meetings over 3 months and a number of thematic committee meetings. Their ideas, suggestions
and feedback were integrated in the new version of the SUMP voted by the political body.
Some unexpected results include the attraction of other stakeholders (via those invited) and unexpected contributions on certain measures.
Potential for learning or transfer
Transferability is possible for all types of cities and/or regions, since no specific financial resources are necessary, but staff time, project
management skills and ‘diplomatic’ skills.
