The Common Dream: A house in green surroundings
Cheap site, large living area
Garden, green surroundings
Freedom, prestige, property

SIR
The Problem: The more central, the more expensive
The solution?
New house on a “cheap” location
Usually only accessible by private car
graphics. SIR
SIR
The Consequence: Long distances
Private costs: car(s), fuel, stress, physical inactivity
Social costs: infrastructure, pollutants, noise, diseases, land consumption
Risks: energy price, traffic congestions, accidents, life-cycle, property value

MORECO Objective
Living in smart locations
Short distances, liveable surroundings
High number of pedestrians and cyclists
Proximity to supply facilities and public transport
Low costs for mobility

SIR
MORECO Objective
Living in smart locations
To support a sustainable settlement development
which follows supply facilities and public transport axes.
To steer future the housing market towards smart locations
that offer a good quality of supply to minimise future mobility costs.

Governance context
Issues and impact
• A complexity and multiplicity of actors (housing, transport, spatial
planning, land use...)
• A difficulty to identify and understand the key factors of individual
choices, and levers to influence them
• A need for volontarism regarding public and private decision makers and
public policies
The planning boundaries are not necessarily related to residential sprawl,
and individual choices are not always taken in a rational and collective
interest way
Coordination between actors and perimeters, balance between individual
needs and collective issues shall be balanced

MORECO Common Declaration
Smart locations and alternative means of transport
to the car for a better liveability
….. Given
the findings of the project, the partners have defined
the following four strategic priorities:
• Foster projects around existing and future public transport hubs
• Provide households with tools in order to rationalise their
residential choices with regard to the residence/mobility costs
• Reduce commuting by car and encourage the use of
collective means of transport
• Continue striving to objectively weigh up the respective costs of
urban sprawl and rebuilding inner city sites or local authorities
These priorities for action will be backed up and made sustainable by the creation
of a network in which the MORECO partners will continue exchanging experiences
and good practices. …
