If you are interested in sustainable mobility and are convinced that we, individual citizens of the world, we can make a difference, do not miss the European Mobility Week to be held September 16 to 22.
You will have the opportunity to participate a una serie di eventi dedicati alla mobilità sostenibile, che si inseriscono all’interno dell’ampio dibattito internazionale riguardante la necessità di cambiare i nostri comportamenti in relazione alla mobilità e in particolare all’uso della macchina privata.
L’iniziativa, nata nel 2002 con il supporto politico della Commissione Europea, col passare degli anni continua a raccogliere le adesioni di un numero crescente di città e quest’anno è giunta alla sesta edizione.
A livello europeo sono tre i network incaricati della coordinazione della campagna:
Eurocities, associazione delle maggiori città europee
Energie-Cités, associazione delle autorità locali europee which promotes a sustainable energy policy at local
Climate Alliance, an alliance of European cities with the indigenous peoples of the rainforests
For 2007 the theme will be "Streets For People ', or the streets for people, which will culminate Saturday September 22 with the Car Free Day (Day without a car), although the invitation to travel without their vehicle is extended to all week.
The basic idea of \u200b\u200bthis week dedicated to the mobility option is the relocation of urban space. This does not mean you want to make life difficult for motorists, but the thought is aimed at improving mobility options and quality of urban life for everyone.
The increase in road space for cars is certainly not the answer to current challenges in the transport sector.
the contrary, reduce road capacity for the machines can still be cost efficient and sustainable manner and also allows citizens to follow healthy lifestyles without reducing individual mobility.
In Europe, the majority of citizens wish to promote the mode of transport that are environmentally friendly.
Many people are concerned about the quality of air (and according to recent data from the air of our country is very unhealthy) and bring air pollution in cima alla loro lista delle preoccupazioni ambientali. Poi molti sono favorevoli all’aumento di aree per i pedoni per risolvere i problemi della qualità dell’aria e dell’inquinamento acustico.
Alcuni studi fatti in giro per il mondo mostrano che è possibile
ridurre la capacità disponibile per le auto senza aumentare la congestione del traffico.
Curiosando tra le città partecipanti, scopro con sconforto che l’Italia aderisce con solo 12 città:
Bologna
Brescia
Brunico
Firenze
Mercogliano
Milano
Mirano
Portogruaro (Venezia)
Province di Treviso
Provincia di Ascoli Piceno
Salice
Venezia
Ben poca thing over 278 cities in Austria, to 140 in Spain, France and the 94 to 54 in Portugal. Better than we even
Lithuania (18 cities), Slovenia (22), the Netherlands (42), Hungary (32) and the Czech Republic (61).
At this point I can only do one thing: to invite you to participate in individual, even if you live in one of the 12 Italian cities participating. Wherever you are in Italy, remember the European Mobility Week and to limit car use.
Obviously, this suggestion extends to the whole year, but this seems to me obvious. Just
a small personal commitment as much as possible avoid using a car especially for those who must move in small towns.

For my part I will use the bike to go to work (via Triumplina Prevalle-Brescia) at least 2 times this week, I try to maintain that commitment throughout the entire year.
