Overview
In order to underline the importance of making cities and their transport systems more accessible, fluid, greener and safer, the CIVITAS Forum has chosen to focus this year on the main ideas of the Green Paper on urban mobility and its Action Plan, planned in autumn of 2008.
Change is possible only if the challenge of a new culture for urban mobility is shared by institutions and citizens. Fortunately, these concepts are becoming a priority not only in the minds of city administrators but also in the collective consciousness of society, with tangible results in cities throughout Europe. With this awareness the CIVITAS Forum 2008 will be an opportunity to focus this general topic and to foresee the new road and actions to pursue together.
