Active Travel for all ages

Active travel for all ages
23 October 2024 - 11:00-12:30 - Online

With well-known benefits, walking, wheeling, and cycling are great ways to move around in our cities. However, for kids, teenagers, and older adults, being able to travel actively might be a key determinant of their mobility and participation in public and social life. In addition to sustainable mobility advantages, walking, wheeling, and cycling can bring independence, social interactions, access to education, work and leisure activities, and a healthy and active lifestyle that does not rely on motor vehicles or, in some cases, even public transport.

For this year's Urban October, the Active Travel & Health Working Group is organising an interactive webinar delving into the relevance of walking, wheeling and cycling for kids, teenagers, and older adults. We will explore the central aspects that are specific to these age groups and what is being done and still to be done to enable and foster safe, comfortable and desirable active travel choices. Join us to learn, discuss, and exchange examples of programs, solutions and studies that focus on active travel for all ages.
