EcoMobility World Festival

The EcoMobility World Festival series by ICLEI shows that an ecomobile lifestyle can be promoted in cities around the world. The Festival transforms a neighborhood or a business district in a city into carfree and ecomobile area for a month. Implementing the Festival demonstrates the possibilities of an innovative and forward-thinking urban mobility culture.
The EcoMobility Congress series provides a platform for international actors, united by a shared interest in sustainable mobility, to share best practices and spark synergies in a setting that promotes creative collaboration, local initiatives, and the EcoMobility agenda.

5 Reasons why a city should host the Festival
- Testing urban design and transport solutions for an ecomobile city and exploring residents’ acceptance
- Having a direct dialogue with residents in the city and support transport policies with international experts as advocates
- Providing direct economic benefit to the neighborhood during the Festival
- Raising the international profile and prestige of the city especially through the city’s progressive transport policy
- Obtaining direct feedback on the transport policy and practice from local and international experts and stakeholders
