    Real People, Real Connections: What Makes Cities Welcoming

    Four years ago, when Shaïsta arrived in Fundão from Afghanistan, she found a welcoming and supportive environment at her local school—one that allowed her to continue the education the Taliban had taken away from her. Her dream was to become a doctor. Sharing her story in a vidcast produced by Fundão in cooperation with a local radio brought her one step closer: a medical school contacted her and offered support to help her overcome a key obstacle—a professional language exam.

  • A shared roadmap for inclusive mobility: S.M.ALL cities publish their Action Plans

     

    As the URBACT network S.M.ALL – Sustainable Mobility for All reaches the final stage of its journey, partner cities are publishing their Integrated Action Plans (IAPs), translating years of learning, experimentation, and collaboration into concrete, locally grounded strategies for inclusive and sustainable mobility.

    These plans represent one of the most important legacies of the network. They are not simply lists of projects, but shared roadmaps developed through participatory processes, testing actions and cross-sectoral cooperation, with a clear focus on people, everyday life and equity.

The URBACT network S.M.ALL – Sustainable Mobility for All was created to address this question, starting from a simple but powerful assumption: mobility cannot be considered sustainable if it is not inclusive.
