PROJECT GOAL:

The objective of the CityWalk project is to help cities in the Danube region to reduce emissions and noise thus becoming a safer living space, by increasing the role of more sustainable forms of mobility, especially active forms of transport – walking and cycling. The main purpose of the project is therefore the improvement of key conditions of walkability:

• Improving urban mobility by effectively combining different modes of transport while reducing noise emissions and traffic congestions,
• Increasing safety,
• Contributing to a healthier population and
• Raising the satisfaction of the inhabitants of the region.

 

RESULTS:

• Perform courses and workshops for stakeholders,
• Develop a common toolkit which will include a walkability guide, index and an online tool,
• Design 8 walkability plans,
• Deliver 8 pilot actions and
• Develop and present policy proposals for sustainable mobility.
