Policy mix 4 mobility – 1st Webinar
Reducing car dependency: what works for cities?
27 April 2026 – Monday // 11:00-12:30 CET
Online via Teams
The Policy Mix 4 Mobility Urban Mobility Forum is designed for cities, bringing them together to exchange ideas, share experiences, and explore how to co-create effective strategies to reduce car dependency, promote alternative mobility solutions, and shape the future of sustainable transport.
This webinar focused on the practical application of co-design strategies and the critical importance of
building political support and public legitimacy for mobility transitions. To move from theory to
action, the session showcased best practices and measures implemented by municipalities such
as Limassol and Odense. We highlighted both the technical and social dimensions of these
transitions, which require not only new infrastructure and policy instruments but also cultural change, equitable access, and active community
engagement.
