👏 Last week, the CIVITAS Initiative and five CIVITAS projects - UPPER Project EU, SPINE, ELABORATOR Project, REALLOCATE project, and Just Streets - were proudly represented at the Cities Mission Conference 2024 organised by the NetZeroCitiesEU project and the European Commission. 🇪🇺 Held during the Valencia Cities Climate Week, alongside other key events, such as the European Urban Resilience Forum 2024 (EURESFO) and the Energy Cities’ Annual Forum, it was the perfect opportunity for creating synergies between political representatives, practitioners, and key stakeholders from the 112 #MissionCities, so crucial for the acceleration of the #GreenTransition in Europe. 🌱 Valencia, being this year's #EuropeanGreenCapital, was the perfect place to host the events, with the city's inspiring path to #sustainability, and concrete measures taking place. #EUMissions #HorizonEU #EUGreenCapital

🚲"Cycling opens up new opportunities for transport for people that maybe didn't have options before... Let's move towards more accessible and socially-connected cities!": Melissa Bruntlett reminds mobility practitioners of the real human reasons for promoting more active travel! 🏃♀️ ▶ Watch more below and get inspired 👇

Very busy two days are behind us with the REALLOCATE project's twinning visit. Representatives from the University and City of Zagreb / Grad Zagreb, Eurocities, the University College Dublin, internationally renowned companies such as Arup, Nudgd and organisations like European Cyclists' Federation, the International Federation of Pedestrians and Sindikat biciklista met for two days to study Budapest's developments and innovative solutions for healthier and safer streets. During the two days event organised by the Department for Climate and Environment Affairs of the City of Budapest my highlights were when Daniel Rádai, Deputy Mayor of the VIIIth district of Budapest, and Judit Rab Head of Public Space Development and Regulation at BKK - Budapesti Közlekedési Központ answered questions from the audience and when together with Zoltán Erdős and Zoltán Zikkert we led a half-day deepdive walking tour to learn about the transport challenges and interventions of the Municipality of the VIIIth district and the City of Budapest related to pedestrianisation, traffic safety and green space improvements in densely built-up areas. The Reallocate research and development project, which is directly funded by the European Union, involves Budapest as a lead city and we were happy to present our recent developments to our partners. Special thanks for realising this event goes to Kinga Lőcsei-Tóth, Justine Gangneux, Kateřina Kührová and Bálint Szemenyei. Thanks also to colleagues from BKK and Budapest Közút Zrt. for their contribution. Photos by Simon Nyirő, BKK #zöldbudapest

As part of the REALLOCATE project we are developing a new sidewalk scanner. Our prototype uses LiDAR technology, a laser-based beam that measures distances based on the time it takes to return to the source. This technology can help us provide extremely valuable data and support the creation of reports on the quality and accessibility of sidewalks in cities, allowing local authorities to act quickly and know exactly what needs to be improved. It can also be a great addition to local walk audits, providing extra data that can be combined with pedestrian perceptions, feelings and emotions. Our current model allows a single person to carry the scanner - making it very easy to scan sidewalks in any designated area. This prototype is being tested on 9 European cities but is still a work in progress. We will be looking towards improving our prototype with digital twin integration, GIS location and other factors that will provide a very interesting tool for pedestrian advocates and local authorities in the near future. #Technology #Sidewalkscanner #sidewalks #pedestrianfutures #pedestrians #Reallocate #walkability #inclusivity #accesibility

🚲 It is World Bicycle Day! 🚲 This year's CIVITAS Forum in Parma 🇮🇹 #CF2024 will be a great opportunity to try out the most #sustainable way of reaching our event destination - long-distance cycling 🚵♀️. Parma is surrounded by three EuroVelo routes: Via Romea (No. 5), the Sun Route (No. 7), and the Mediterranean Route (No. 8). Check out the routes here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ddvKy68w When in Parma, we encourage you to use the city’s shared bicycle system, Mi Muovo.
