After the completion of the prototyping phase, the piloting began. Implementing a pilot may sound easier than it actually is: it does not only entail actions to test the prototype in a real-life setting, but also implies substantial community engagement work to gather enough users and requires extensive data collection to measure the effects ofRead more

Another six months have gone by and several changes have happened, which we are excited about and look forward to sharing with you.

This project has a cooperative approach to transport and urban planning in its DNA: communities composed of citizens, public authorities, transport operators and mobility experts have been supporting the creation of sustainable urban mobility solutions in five different cities. In each of our pilot areas, teams have worked with a diverse stakeholder community for overRead more

We write so often about best practices: why not try and visualise them for once? This is the approach CIVITAS SUMPs-Up has chosen to adopt when launching its photo competition. The project is looking for a photo that captures sustainable mobility in an urban environment. Green, safe, inclusive – the more you can add, the better!Read more
