The project promoter determined the poor state of sustainable mobility and its development in Slovakia, as reported, among others, by several national studies. The infrastructure has been built and developed as a car-oriented system with a strong environmental and climate-changing impact. This project aims to contribute to a sustainable mobility infrastructure mostly by designing a legal framework, especially by advocating for national and local policies favorable for the development of sustainable mobility, active participation in the landscape and transportation strategies on the local and national level, cooperation with other civic space organisations, and raising public awareness on the importance of developing the sustainable mobility concept. As the project actions are focused on benefiting the broad public, the project promoter expects to satisfy the mobility needs of people and businesses in cities and their surroundings for a better quality of life in a sustainable way. The project will be realized in alliance with the project partner, The Environment and Planning Department of Reykjavík with the aim of knowledge integration and the project outcomes quality advanced.
Summary of bilateral results
The project promoter implemented this project in cooperation with a project partner from Iceland, the city of Reykjavík. The project promoter found the role of the project partner extensive and significant, even though the covid pandemic influenced it. The project partner advanced the overall quality by bringing up examples of best practices, capacity-building training and online consultations, and last but not least, the increased prestige of the project for a broad public. The project partner contributed to the conference organized and, during their visit to Slovakia, gained new knowledge from a different point of view, spent time in discussions with local and national authorities, experts, and activists, and gained contacts for the future. The project partners are still in touch and sharing information, and if the funding is available, they will continue in cooperation.
