This article is an overview of how travel behavior and urban mobility are shaping and influencing each other. The paper is structured in two parts. The first one presents the factors that influence travel behavior and in the second one, a few examples of good practices and unsuccessful projects are analyzed in order to determine how community collaboration affects the planning and decision-making process. The behavior patterns are influenced by socio-demographic factors, land use, transportation, or travel costs. Lifestyle represents one of the important factors in choosing transportation services. Thus, understanding the user’s mobility patterns is a complex process and varies depending on the context and the needs.
