Lyon (France) leads the charge towards sustainable mobility and inclusive urban spaces! Since 2020, Lyon's 'rues des enfants' program has transformed over 60 school surroundings, engaging 15,000 children in the process. Through innovative designs and traffic calming measures, Lyon is creating safer, greener, and more inclusive streets for all. Experts, Urban Mobility Advocates, emphasize the program's vision: empowering children to reclaim and reimagine their city spaces. Lyon's ambitious projects extend beyond schools, with urban transformations in the Danton district and boulevard Garibaldi, including expanded cycling networks and innovative road safety initiatives. Lyon's commitment to Vision Zero and innovative parking policies further underscores its dedication to creating a safer and more sustainable urban environment. Lyon's inspiring initiatives set a powerful example for cities worldwide, demonstrating that sustainable mobility and inclusive urban planning are key to creating vibrant and resilient communities.

🏙️🌳 Today, on Birds and Trees Day, let's also celebrate the greening of our cities! Many urban areas are wisely reclaiming their public spaces from cars, making parking spots increasingly scarce and valuable. The cornerstone of sustainable development lies in solutions that help manage this limited resource intelligently. Smart parking presents an innovative solution to this challenge, enabling more efficient use of parking spaces while creating greener, more livable cities. 💚

Ridesharing services have altered the way people get around, producing major urban congestion in many cities. 🟢 Easy access to ridesharing causes people to use less environmentally friendly alternatives to walking and public transport. Cities must effectively address the challenges of these services to achieve green urban mobility, with sustainable and congestion-free urban environments.

🚲🌎 Here are a few of approaches and solutions that address urban mobility challenges and build a more efficient and sustainable transport system. What other solutions do you see viable? 👀 Let’s solve the mobility challenges facing our cities together! 👉https://lnkd.in/d_xgKGBc 

The first annual Atlas of #Sustainable City Transport looks at nine metrics of sustainable mobility in more than 1,000 metropolitan areas around the world. These measures include the percentage of residents safe from highways, as well as proximity to transportation amenities including protected bikeways, car-free places, frequent transport and rapid transport. #mobility

Imagine a safe, sustainable city without car dominance. I came across, together with Daniel Bumann an inspiring poster in Biel, Switzerland and I looked it up. The website is available in German and French and it describes many of the solutions for "How do we get there?" - the vision for car-free cities. The vibrant and inspiring illustrated map (same as the front page) links the solutions for sustainable city, from 15-minute city to car-pooling and so on. You can explore the solutions on the website here: https://lnkd.in/dz-6KTAQ And if you are local, you can also order the poster and support the campaign "The traffic future begins now. Let's rebuild our transport system - towards sustainable mobility. We want to reduce dependence on motorized individual transport and promote environmentally friendly forms of transport. We have to massively reduce traffic without restricting our mobility. We can't help but question existing structures: from street space to our values, fundamental changes are needed." #Biel
