EIT Urban Mobility - Urban Mobility Explained (UMX)

🚋 From its iconic yellow trams… ⛴️ To its scenic ferry rides… Lisbon’s #PublicTransportation is practically a tourist attraction in itself! How can the city balance the old with the new (plus, tourists and residents) to get everyone around efficiently? UMX travels to #Portugal to explore the growing tension between Lisbon’s cherished yellow trams and the urgent need for more efficient transportation. 📺 UMX video featuring George Liu PhD on #PublicTransport in the Portuguese capital 🇵🇹 #UrbanMobility #UrbanPlanning Jedwin Mok Malaurie Chokoualé Datou

Kids in Malta are cheering: “Walk to school instead of driving a car!” (See, it’s not just some #sustainable transport planner’s pipe dream…😊) 📺 New UMX short with Camille Bon on the island’s "sCOOL2walk" initiative, where children walk together under adult supervision. This approach not only promotes safer, more sustainable school commutes but also helps develop essential motor skills.
