Effective solutions for green urban transport - Learning from CIVITAS cities(Geneva)
GENEVA, BelgiumTrainingCIVITAS Initiative
The last CIVITAS workshop in the series “Effective solutions for green urban transport” took place on 16 April in the margins of the 7th European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns (ESCT), which ran from 17-19 April 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The event followed the success of the series’ previous three results workshops, which took place in Brussels in September 2011, Athens in April 2012 and Rotterdam in October 2012.
Focusing on CIVITAS cities’ achievements in the fields of mobility management and car independent lifestyles, the one-day workshop benefitted from its position alongside the 7th ESCT, which gathered over 1,000 European local government leaders, as well as representatives from institutions and NGOs.
Examples from pioneering CIVITAS cities showcased what they have achieved and how; how they cooperated with other cities; and finally, what they learned and how participants can replicate these measures in their own city contexts. The workshop was an interactive mix of presentations and discussions, with participants asking questions and engaging with the speakers.
All information concerning workshop logistics, speakers and the programme is contained within the agenda posted below.
