CityWalk project – Towards energy responsible places: establishing walkable cities in the Danube Region – helps cities in the Danube Region to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, noise and to become safer, better places to live, by increasing the role of more sustainable forms of mobility in the urban transport mix, especially active transport forms (like walking and biking). The project addresses the challenge with a holistic approach: improving urban mobility through efficiently combining various means of transport by identifying the obstacles, developing and implementing a plan to address those obstacles.

At the SYMPOSIUM we will address the obstacles of sustainable forms of mobility in the cities. At two different dialogue panels with the thematic experts from the field of urban planning we will be looking for answers and proposals linked to the issues of the sustainable urban planning and design of the cities, environmental impact of traffic, pedestrian infrastructure, awareness raising and policies/regulations. We are also honored to announce Jim Walker, the founder of Walk2 – international conference series on walking and liveability, as the key speaker of the event.

Please sign up for the event with the registration form until November 21, 2017. The SYMPOSIUM will be held in English and simultaneously translated to Slovenian.
