Turnhout (Belgium)

Turnhout is a mid-sized city in the Flemish province of Antwerp in northern Belgium, with a population of around 46,000, flat terrain, and strong cycling potential thanks to its location within the Kempen heathland and proximity to regional rail and road corridors. Its geographic setting supports high levels of walking and cycling within the compact urban core. Turnhout’s mobility strategy is framed by a joint Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) developed with neighbouring municipalities (Beerse, Vosselaar, Oud-Turnhout and others), aiming to double sustainable trips (walking, cycling, public transport) and reduce car use by 25 % by 2035 as part of a regional vision to improve quality of life and address climate challenges. This Stadsregionaal Mobiliteitsplan / Mobiliteitsplan Turnhout embeds modal shift objectives, pedestrian and cycling safety improvements, and connections with public transport hubs; details and project maps are available on the city’s mobility page.(turnhout.be

Turnhout also integrates sustainable mobility into its Klimaatplan 2050, linking mobility actions to climate neutrality goals.(turnhout.be
