European Dialogue for Sustainable Cities: Sustainable Urban Mobility

Sustainable urban mobility can be seen as a maturity indicator for a city’s sustainability. The prevalence of sustainable urban mobility modes shows how much a city has moved towards a post-carbon society.

How has the city of Lisbon, European Green Capital 2020, succeeded with their plans towards sustainable urban mobility? And what on earth is the world’s first personal carbon trading scheme? How does a European Parliament member see the investment needs in mobility when budgets have become even tighter in European cities? Finally, is sustainable urban mobility the way to make cities more humane and kinder for everyone?
