Walking and cycling are the cleanest and most efficient forms of transport, particularly suited for short to moderate distances. Both provide numerous benefits. They improve health, do not produce air or noise pollution and help to reduce congestion.
Introducing cycling infrastructure (e.g. bike lanes, bike parking and hire schemes) are ways in which cities can promote cycling, while creating pedestrian-friendly spaces can promote commuting, shopping and recreation.
EIT Urban Mobility have shared a new study which explores the different dimensions of the 15 minute city, looking at practical solutions to make cities and neighbourhoods more accessible and inclusive.
This is a working group meeting held by POLIS on 29 November 2022, 10;00-11:00 and is open to members of the POLIS Network only. To become a member, click here.
For cycling and walking to move up the mobility agenda, they must work together, rather than compete for space. Both have a common goal - more space for active mobility. This workshop will discuss how to build and reinforce this cohesion. With several speakers and a roundtable discussion, the workshop will explore the way forward.
