Missing some know-how on how to create a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) in you city?
The best way to learn more and to exchange hands-on experiences with your colleagues from fellow UBC cities is to join the Baltic Sea Region SUMP workshop that will be arranged on March 15, 2018 in Tampere, Finland. The workshop will be organized by the European SUMPs-Up project in cooperation with the City of Tampere, MAL network and our Commission - aiming to evoke and facilitate discussion and the experience exchange on different kind of issues and solutions within the field of sustainable urban mobility planning.
The event is targeted to experts and planners in local administrations and organizations working with mobility issues in the Baltic Sea Region area and the workshop itself will showcase concrete case examples from the cities. The presentations will be based on different SUMP issues like citizen involvement, cross-sectoral and cross-border cooperation, integration of land-use planning and mobility planning as well as data collection. Topping up the day will be a Site Visit in the centre of City of Tampere to get acquinted with the city's sustainable mobility investments like the Tramway project and how they have promoted cycling and walking in their city.
