Cleaner and Better Transport in Cities

Cities, as the closest link to citizens, were the focal point of Satellite’s efforts, with an emphasis on international cooperation as an essential aspect for cities to function as “activity hubs” in the global economy.

Cross-project coordination, exchange mechanisms, and capacity-building provided cities with access to the latest innovations resulting from European urban mobility research, as well as helping city practitioners to gain the necessary skills to apply innovations in their local contexts.

Additional exchange activities and community building, where cities could learn from their peers, laid the foundation for these solutions to be applied in practice.

Civitas Satellite was coordinated by Polis.

CIVITAS SATELLITE was co-funded by the European Union under Horizon 2020, Research and Innovation Directorate General under Grant Agreement number 713813.
