| Abstract: | Hengelo, located in a high-tech region in the Netherlands, is preparing for future growth. To support sustainable development and maintain its appeal, a Mobility Plan has been created. After the summer of 2025, the municipality of Hengelo will start research on redeveloping opportunities along the centre ring road, which plays a vital role in the accessibility of the city centre of Hengelo and often deals with congestion. As the city grows, traffic issues are expected to worsen and smart solutions are needed. This research aims to assist Hengelo in developing a liveable, traffic-safe and accessible city centre, with redevelopments of the centre ring road considering its future growth in residents. The research of the thesis is framed by the following question: Research Question "How can Hengelo ensure a liveable, traffic-safe, and accessible city centre through redevelopment of the centre ring road considering its growth in residents?" To answer the main research question, four different subquestions (RQs) were used: 1. What are the current traffic and accessibility problems in Hengelo, concerning the centre ring road? 2. What possible interventions could be implemented to improve the livability, traffic safety and accessibility of the city centre? 3. What are the expected impacts of these interventions based on traffic models? 4. Which intervention offers the most effective and balanced solution for a liveable, traffic-safe and accessible city centre? |
