Accelerating the Mobility Transition in Smaller Communities – Online Workshop

Small and medium-sized municipalities — the progressive ones of which are referred to as "Small Giants" in the EU's Smart Cities Marketplace — face unique challenges and possess specific strengths when incorporating sustainable mobility options into their modal mix. These communities often operate with smaller budgets and less densely populated areas, coupled with fewer public mobility offers. They do, however, benefit from close-knit communities, decision-makers who are more accessible, and a generally shorter distance between planning and action. 

Join the Smart Cities Marketplace, a European Commission Initiative that CIVITAS has partnered with for years, in this online workshop with the Small Giants Focus Group. During the workshop, which will take place on 30 September 11:00-12:30 CEST, participants will explore strategies to accelerate sustainable mobility in smaller communities in a manner that has significant and broader benefits, and will discover how collaboration with peers can facilitate the implementation of solutions for better and cleaner mobility with less risk and keener implementation costs. 

This cooperative session will focus on practical approaches to deliver concrete initiatives such as "Mobility Islands," considering various funding and financing options. The discussion will also consider how to use "place-making" as a key driver of sustainable mobility in small and medium-sized cities.
