Reflecting about barriers and co-creating solutions for active and walkable cities

Active transport is healthy, free of emissions and pollution and a great asset for future sustainable urban mobility systems. It must therefore play a much more central role in mobility planning, policies and investments. Learn why this topic is important, what its benefits are, the barriers it faces, and co-create solutions with experts and peers in a highly interactive session.

Here a collection of key moments and recommendations that draw from on the ground experience from our experts from ITDP and Suez Consulting:
