Sustainable mobility refers to the implementation of a global travel policy that applies the components of sustainable development to transport. It is therefore based on a transport system?: 

  • that enables individuals to meet their primary access needs in an equitable, safe and health-compatible manner; 
  • Is affordable, operates efficiently, offers transportation options and supports a vibrant economy; 
  • Which minimizes the consumption of space and resources, which integrates with the environment and which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and waste. 

The mobile app Greenplay presents a sustainable development game that takes place in the real world. It applies the principles ofgamification, which consists of applying game-related mechanisms to processes that are not primarily intended to be playful. The concept of?gamification?is very relevant to the issue of sustainable mobility, because the use of games is a positive and effective means of modifying the behavior and habits of citizens over time. Thanks to the combination of digital andgamification, Greenplay ensures the success of the action through a high level of commitment and allows a concrete positive impact on sustainable mobility and the use of alternative transport.
