Niš (Serbia)
Niš is the third largest city in Serbia and the administrative center of the Nišava District. It is located in the southern part of Serbia. The position of Niš is strategically important, at the intersection of European highway and railway networks connecting Europe with Asia.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a cooperation agreement with the City of Niš to finance the preparation of a sustainable urban mobility plan, enabling the city to make informed investment decisions concerning its transport network. By taking into account existing travel patterns, development trends and the municipality’s strategic planning objectives, the sustainable urban mobility plan will help ensure that investments are optimised to provide efficient, safe, convenient and less carbon-reliant mobility. Technical assistance will enable the City of Niš to explore opportunities created by the future removal of freight traffic from the existing inter-urban railway corridor crossing the city.
