Lund sets a very high standard on its approach to transport decarbonisation
John Whitelegg, November 2020
Lund (population 114,000) is a city in southern Sweden that is home to some of Sweden’s most famous companies e.g. Ikea and Tetra Pak. It is a famous university town and has pursued a detailed sustainable transport policy with an emphasis on reducing transport’s carbon emissions. This is known as the “Lund Environmentally Adjusted Transport System” or LundaMaTs. It was adopted in 2006 and was revised and updated in 2013 and is now referred to as LundaMaTs III.
