Regional Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning for Functional Urban Areas: Improving Capacities to Lower CO₂ Emissions

25 May, 2018

The LOW-CARB project organised on 25 May 2018 the workshop "Regional Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning for Functional Urban Areas: Improving capacities to lower CO₂ Emissions," in Brno, Czech Republic. The workshop targeted mobility planners (primarily regional authorities, city planners and public transport companies) with a view to exchanging knowledge and experience about integrated low-carbon mobility planning. It aimed to raise the participants’ capacities to set-up coordinated management structures in functional urban areas and, ultimately, through improved coordination, mobility planning and deployment of innovative technology, the workshop aimed to contribute to emission and congestion reduction in Central Europe’s functional urban areas.
