The objective of this research is to analyse the importance of culture in the city planning which is an indispensable way in understanding the local identities and its history.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are being promoted for their potential for reducing CO2 emissions, local air pollution, and dependence on oil imports. However, their uptake has remained slow despite heavy investment in upstream technologies and production, and a raft of economic incentives to potential consumers.

In doing so, it will enable us to assess how different approaches to consumers can help to develop the EVs market.
