Through a methodological approach that sequentially addresses theory, practice, design and application, Triple Access Planning for Uncertain Futures aims to advance guidance to improve the resilience and adaptability of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs) in the face of uncertainty. Focus is upon the tripartite contribution to accessibility in our towns and cities of physical mobility, spatial proximity and digital connectivity. Existing urban mobility planning will be critically examined, and seven case study cities in five countries will be used to help achieve the project’s aims.

A card game
The project has developed a serious card game to help address the following challenge: How to capture and convey in an engaging way the introduction of a new approach to transport planning that allows for a critical consideration of its merits in a reasonable amount of time?
The game is called TAP-SWOT in a BOX and introduces the players to Triple Access Planning (TAP) and then presents them with a ready-made set of TAP’s potential Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT analysis). The aim of the game, as a team of players, is to sort through these four suits of cards and shortlist the five most important cards that form the basis of a recommendation as to whether or not TAP should be adopted as an approach for urban mobility planning.
