A comparative analysis between the cities of Groningen and Liege (Belgium)
This work aims at drawing a list of TDM measures that are in application in Groningen and that could be transferred to the Liege context to improve its
transport system. In that perspective, a practical analysis of the transport system of both studied
cities has been carried out : the context within which they have developed has been described, the main elements constituting their respective transport
networks have been identified, and the TDM measures in application in both cities have been evaluated. This analysis has put to the fore numerous differences between the transport system of Groningen and the one of Liege.
These ones do not facilitate transfer possibilities between the two cities. However, a list of TDM measures that carefully takes these differences into
account has been drawn. These measures concern (1) the improvement of the public transport services, (2) the development of a coherent parking policy, and (3) the promotion of bike use. In fact, the major shortcomings that Liege is facing in each of these three issues have been pointed out and efficient solutions have been looked for in the Groningen experience. These solutions
have been largely detailed.
