Advancing Safe and Sustainable Urban Mobility through Design for Safety                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Abstract: Rapid urbanisation, climate pressures, and growing mobility demands require cities to move beyond conventional approaches that treat safety as a downstream operational concern. This invited presentation explores Design for Safety (DfS) as a proactive approach for integrating safety, sustainability, resilience, and maintainability into urban mobility infrastructure from the earliest stages of planning and design. The presentation adopts a lifecycle perspective, emphasising that decisions made during planning and design have important implications for constructibility, maintainability, operation, and long-term infrastructure performance. Drawing upon Malaysian urban and infrastructure examples presented through the BRT Sunway Line, Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS), and Think City Penang initiatives, the session demonstrates how mobility systems can be designed to support safer access, cleaner transportation, inclusive movement, climate adaptation, and more resilient urban environments. The discussion extends DfS beyond construction-stage safety by considering risks throughout the project lifecycle, particularly during operation and maintenance, where design decisions can reduce exposure to hazardous activities and improve accessibility for future maintenance personnel. The presentation also highlights the evolving Malaysian occupational safety and health framework, alongside international DfS practices, design hazard assessment approaches, and research-based tools that support more systematic consideration of safety during design. Ultimately, the presentation argues for a shift from managing risks after infrastructure is built to eliminating or reducing foreseeable risks through design. By embedding DfS within sustainable urban mobility planning, cities can create transport infrastructure that is not only eLicient and environmentally responsible, but also safer, more maintainable, inclusive, and resilient throughout its lifecycle.                                                             Keywords: Design for Safety, Sustainable Urban Mobility, Urban Infrastructure, Prevention through Design, Climate Resilience, Safety by Design, Sustainable Cities, Infrastructure Lifecycle
