European Mobility Week 2007 – Multiple European cities, 16-22 September 2007 16-09-2007 Introduction From the 16 to 22 September 2007 the European Mobility Week will take place
in almost 900 European cities. The week will facilitate the debate on changes in
behaviour in relation to mobility and in particular the use of the private car.
The Car Free Day will be the highlight of the Mobility Week. The 2007 theme is
“Streets for People” – aimed at improving the quality of urban life.
Description
The sixth edition of the European Mobility Week is organised under the theme
‘Streets for people’. This theme conveys the clear message that increasing road
space for cars is not the answer to existing transport challenges. On the
contrary, reducing road capacity for cars can represent a sustainable, efficient
solution and also allows healthier lifestyles for all citizens without reducing
individual mobility. This theme encourages local authorities to reallocate some
road space to non-motorised traffic. It also puts an emphasis on the need for
improving air quality at local level: major concern for the European Union and
its Member States.
The European Mobility Week has started in the European Union in 2002 with the
political support of the European Commission, DG Environment. At the European
level, three networks of European cities and towns are in charge of the campaign
coordination.
Programme Location
888 European cities in several EU Member States
