"New mobility" is a term used to describe an alternative model for developing urban transport to the one favoured by the transport planning community (which they refer to as "Old Mobility"). The term was coined by Eric Britton of The Commons: Open Society Sustainability Initiative to encapsulate the sustainable urban transport philosophy which had evolved in their work over a number of years.^{[citation needed]}

New Mobility's aims can be described as:

• Providing equity of mobility between those with and without cars, and throughout the urban area
• Reducing the carbon intensity of urban transport (as a whole)
• Making use of all the modes of transport at our disposal (including foot, cycle and all means of motorised transport), as well as technological solutions such as teleworking and passenger information
• Improving the quality of urban life, particularly in terms of the effects of road traffic
