Smaller cities struggle to achieve carbon-neutrality goals. In Finland, the goal is to reach carbon neutrality by 2035, which means that by and large the smaller cities need to address this target. Several measures to cut carbon emissions have been analyzed in different cities, but it seems that in most cases the reductions in the mobility sector are far behind the ambitious goals, and hence jeopardize the reaching of the 2035 milestone. However, many other improvements are possible regarding accessibility, equity, health, and affordability of urban mobility in smaller cities that have traditionally relied very heavily on private car use. It seems that one of the keys is the electrification of mobility while shifting energy production from fossil energy to cleaner forms, such as wind, hydro, and solar power in the future but more effective land/use policy in the long term.
