The City of Trikala is built upon an ancient agricultural settlement and has evolved over time into a modern, forward-thinking city. With over 85 000 residents, the city centre covers a small area which is intersected by natural features (the Rivers Lithaios and Agiamoniotis) as well as railway tracks, creating urban mobility challenges as transport routes funnel over narrow crossing points. 

Trikala has pioneered innovative urban transport solutions. Mayor Dimitris Papastergiou and Soula Mpraki from the Municipality of Trikala discuss the city’s approach to sustainable urban mobility.
