CityWalk - PROJECT LAUNCH EVENT: WALKABILITY: A PREREQUISITE FOR LIVABLE CITIES (TUESDAY, 07. FEBRUARY 2017)

17-01-2017

First Hungarian Responsible Innovation Association, Scientific Research Centre Bistra Ptuj (lead partner) and partnership of the project CityWALK (Towards energy responsible places: establishing walkable cities in the Danube Region) are delighted to invite you to the lunch event of the project. This meeting will be the official start of our project.

Increasing greenhouse gas emissions and congestions are negative side effects of urbanization, resulting from inefficient and unsustainable local transport systems. A key challenge in cities is to improve transport systems and accessibility in an environmentally-friendly manner. CityWalk project will result in improved urban mobility - while reducing emissions, noise levels and congestions, increasing safety and making cities more liveable places (and also contributing to a healthier population).

Main topic of the conference will be:

  • Walkability as innovative urban development tool.

Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2017
Time: 9.30 – 13.15
Venue: Hotel Soleil**** (H-6724 Szeged, Kelemen László u. 7.)

Representatives from international organizations and practitioners of sustainable mobility in walkability will give their insights and inputs for discussion.
