Transforming Thessaloniki’s Mobility
Thessaloniki is stepping up to become one of Europe’s most sustainable urban cities. The municipality, in collaboration with the Institute of Sustainable Mobility and Transport Networks (I.MET.), is crafting a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) to tackle the city’s pressing traffic issues and improve the quality of life for residents. The plan is designed to make movement easier and greener, promoting alternative transport modes such as public transport, walking, and cycling.
Shaping the city’s transport future
The SUMP initiative aims to create a smart, green, and commuter-friendly Thessaloniki. By addressing congested roads, pollution, and traffic delays, the project will enhance safety and accessibility. I.MET. provides scientific and technical expertise to ensure the plan meets the city’s mobility needs while promoting sustainable transport alternatives.
Public involvement for a brighter, smarter future
The project has actively engaged the public through surveys and workshops to gather insights on travel demands and mobility needs. This public consultation process helps shape the vision for Thessaloniki’s future transport system, ensuring that it aligns with the citizens’ expectations. Stakeholders have played a vital role in providing feedback, leading to a balanced and inclusive approach to mobility planning.
A model for Greece
Success in Thessaloniki may inspire other Greek cities to adopt similar sustainable urban mobility strategies. By implementing this innovative approach, the project aims to reduce traffic issues and boost quality of life not only in Thessaloniki but also across the country, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future for all.
