Last week, we explored micromobility in Ljubljana! The capital of Slovenia is well known for its walking and cycling-friendly policies, as it boasts the largest pedestrianised urban area in Europe and has successfully managed to grow the modal share of cycling as a mode of transport. The city is investing in more infrastructure, such as separated bicycle lanes and cycling streets, offering safe spaces for pedestrians, cyclists, kickscooters and other micromobility, such as wheelchairs and mobility scooters. The city thinks about different people and their needs: their ‘Kavalir’ free electric taxi is available to anyone who can’t walk to provide access in and across the pedestrian area, and there are many spaces for play and enjoyment, inviting families with children into the city.
This training on micromobility was part of our MICROMOBI project: promoting micromobility as a cool, fast and green alternative to private car use. We exchanged experiences, brainstormed and learned together with our project partners @foecyprus, @promimpresaeuprojects and @ljkolesarskamreza, who kindly hosted us in Ljubljana. We were joined by associate partners @rota.mt from Malta and @opu_collective from Cyprus.
