Before the full-scale invasion, urban mobility meant one thing for Kharkiv and any other City in the world: an environmentally friendly and developed transport infrastructure, the ability to get from one point of the City to another quickly and efficiently. Starting from 24.02.2022 and for a certain period afterwards, urban mobility in Kharkiv stopped performing its usual functions. Below, we describe the functioning of Kharkiv's transport and the role of urban mobility during the war.

Around 3,000 towns and cities from approximately 50 countries around the world have been celebrating EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK this week, between 16 - 22 September. During this period thousands of activities have been held promoting walking, cycling, public transport and eco-friendly transport options. The pinnacle of this celebration was World Car-Free Day, traditionally celebrated on 22 September. On this day many urban areas were temporarily closed to motorised traffic, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to make use of this public space.
