Project Description

JUST STREETS is an international Horizon Europe project focusing on (re)developing streets shaped by active mobility that are both: sustainable and inclusive for all citizens. 32 international partners collaborate to empower 12 cities (Amsterdam, Braga, Cugir, Haifa, Kozani, Milan, Riga, London Bourough of Southwark, Vilnius, Vratsa, Westminster and Zaragoza) in transforming existing streets into just, equal, and human-centered spaces for active mobility – subsequently sharing critical implementation learnings with interested cities from across Europe. Realising this shift from streets for the exclusive use by cars towards street space for more active modes of mobility will be led by prioritizing the needs and visions of social groups often under-represented in urban planning. This includes particularly women, migrants, the elderly, children, LGBTQI+ individuals, and people with disabilities.
