CIVITAS - CIty-VITAlity- Sustainability - is a network of cities dedicated to cleaner, better transport in Europe and beyond. In supporting and evaluating an integrated approach towards transport planning, CIVITAS aims to create more sustainable, accessible and liveable urban environments for citizens, as Helen Franzen explains

and silent and CO2-free city logis- tics, two important areas that have previously received less attention in urban mobility policies. In five living labs, the project demonstrates the potential and replicability of inte- grated and inclusive urban planning approaches, innovative policies and emerging technologies. Clean vehi- cles and fuels are being tested, new regulations and services formu- lated and consolidation solutions developed in close partnerships with the private sector.


CIVITAS DESTINATIONS This project shows the effective- ness of innovative sustainable


mobility solutions in six cities in which tourism plays a dominant role for the local economy. Each partner-city is testing new ways to help residents, tourists and freight flow more effectively and more sus- tainably through their cities. The project aims to show how sustaina- ble mobility boost economic growth and job creation in European cities with strong tourist economies while providing healthy and sustainable environments for visitors and resi- dents alike.


CIVITAS PORTIS This project is testing innova- tive and sustainable urban mobil- ity solutions in five European port cities. The five living labs are implementing mobility measures, supporting their multifunctional role of cities, ports and gateways to inland areas. The project aims to show that sustainable mobility


can increase functional and social cohesion between city centres and ports, while pushing the economy forward and boosting the allure of modern urban environments.


CIVITAS RESEARCH & INNOVATION PROJECTS The research and innovation pro- jects, run under CIVITAS, focus on establishing new knowledge or exploring the feasibility of new technologies, products, processes, services or solutions related to transport. For this purpose they may


include basic and applied research, technology development and
