Creating a new culture of urban mobility in Europe (EU Green Paper),

by means of raising citizens awareness of what EU research is doing

and how it could/should help to improve the quality of mobility in their

cities (Move Together Citizens Statement), and

showing how “move together practices” may help to implement a

better mobility in their towns, increasing the awareness and involvement

of citizens (Move Together Exhibition & Move Together Day)

What are the current challenges in

urban transport mobility?

Individual Mobility – cars and fuels

Walking and cycling – calm cities

The exhibition highlights a variety of EU

urban transport research projects, ranging

from sustainable fuels, to public transport

access, to urban planning.

EU Research

environment would

you like to live in?
