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.

 

Challenges

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.
