Active Cities in a Nutshell
Active Cities is a partnership between 8 municipalities and 3 knowledge partners focused on increasing active mobility in North Sea cities through a combination of urban planning, multimodality and social innovations.
The Problem
| To achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, we need a transition to sustainable, human-centric multimodal systems. Active mobility options like walking and cycling are key to accelerating this transition. | Image  |
Challenges
Image  | Car-oriented urban planning discourages active travel; mobility hubs often forget to include walking and cycling options; and urban plans rarely integrate social measures that attract the desired citizens to uptake active mobility. |
Actions
| Active Cities will pilot urban planning, multimodal and social innovations that place humans and human-centric mobility modes (walking, cycling) at the core of the cities. | Image  |
