All Things Urban

Who we are Mobycon are an independent consultancy firm based in the Netherlands. Our interdisciplinary team of urban designers, planners, economists and social scientists are well versed in applying Dutch transport expertise around the world. What unites this diverse group? A shared goal of making societies less dependent on motorised vehicles: "The car when needed, alternatives where possible.” With this goal in mind, we work to create sustainable transport solutions on a case by case basis. Each street has its own unique history, makeup and character - one size does not fit all. The Dutch approach As a Dutch company, our approach to transport is grounded in a thinking that prioritises cycling and walking. This logic creates safe, sustainable and liveable communities that are equipped for all who wish to use them. We are proud to work with our clients and partners around the world to inspire, support and innovate using the Dutch approach.
