Buon pomeriggio e buona domenica a tutti e a tutte voi. Nel giorno in cui si ricordano i 78 anni dallo sgancio della bomba atomica da parte degli Stati Uniti a Hiroshima in Giappone il 6 Agosto 1945, atto con cui si concluse la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, desidero dedicare questo articolo ad un punto fermo per me molto importante e che deve segnare una ripartenza verde nell’ambito della transizione ecologica ed energetica nelle nostre città europee a tutela della qualità dell’aria e della salute dei cittadini che vi vivono: si tratta della campagna Clean Cities.
CITY RANKING: 2023 FOCUSED EDITION
THE STATE OF SHARED & ZERO-EMISSION MOBILITY IN EUROPEAN CITIES
In the race to cleaner transport, it’s no secret that we need to phase out polluting cars. To do that, cities must provide residents with clean, affordable transport options. These include shared bikes and scooters, zero-emission buses and shared electric cars and charging infrastructure.
In 2023, we tested 42 European cities to see who’s speeding ahead when it comes to shared and electric mobility. Scroll down to find your city and use the “Tweet your mayor” buttons to ask them to do more!

WIN-WIN: 5 FAST AND FAIR SOLUTIONS FOR CLEANING UP URBAN TRANSPORT
INTRODUCTION
Changing how we move around won’t make us worse off. That’s the conclusion of this report, which profiles the top 5 measures policy-makers can employ in order that clean urban transport policies – such as low- and zero-emission zones – take into consideration the needs of vulnerable groups in society.
KEY FINDINGS
The report proposes a range of solutions for city leaders and governments to help strike a balance between the overall health benefits of clean transport policy and the short term impacts of the changes as they are introduced. These are:
STREET FOR KIDS
Our cities’ streets should be safe and accessible for everyone. Children should be able to walk, cycle and scoot to school without having to breathe in toxic air pollution or to navigate congested, dangerous roads. Streets For Kids is our campaign to multiply the number of School Streets across Europe.
On this page you can find the back catalogue of our events designed to celebrate the freedom and fun of reclaiming street space for our young people.
Parents and children call for #StreetsForKids!
What is a School Street?
School Streets transform the space around schools by prioritising walking and cycling over driving. At school drop-off and pick-up times, only pedestrians and cyclists are allowed to use the roads.
From the 6 to 15 of May 2022, parents and children from across Europe celebrated making our streets safer as part of our #StreetsForKids campaign. Explore our map of 389 actions, photos and videos from the big days.

Together with Kidical Mass and others, we delivered this very special Spring edition of Streets For Kids.
We mobilised parents, teachers and children across cities in Europe between 21 April and 12 May 2023 to call for more School Streets – roads around schools closed to traffic.
Use the map below to find out more about the actions that took place. If you’re feeling inspired, we have an array of Streets For Kids resources you can use to organise an action at any point!
Lastly, you can access the information and resources in these languages: Polski, Francais, English, Espanol.
