Leuven (Belgium)
Leuven, a city in Belgium's Flemish region, is dedicated to sustainable mobility and transport. The municipality has implemented a circulation plan that prioritizes pedestrians, reduces car traffic, and encourages the development of public transport and cycling routes. This initiative has led to a 40% increase in cycling within the city. Leuven also promotes shared mobility solutions, including the use of e-cargo bikes for urban freight, supporting local businesses while reducing congestion and carbon emissions. The city actively engages citizens in its sustainability efforts, exemplified by the co-creation of a new mobility plan for the Kessel-Lo borough, which emphasizes pedestrian priority and reduced car traffic. These efforts are part of Leuven's broader strategy to achieve climate neutrality, supported by initiatives like Leuven 2030, a non-profit organization fostering collaboration among residents, companies, and organizations to reduce emissions.
