“Jupike jala”: reducing traffic and encouraging walking in Tartu municipality, by Tõnis Tõnissoo

Tartu municipality is a partner of the URBACT network Beyond the Urban. Together with colleagues from diferent urban areas around the Europe and inspired by their experiences, we are looking for solutions to our mobility challenges. One important goal is to reduce the use of private cars for short trips. Success in this area can lead to lower air pollution, smaller environmental impact, a more pleasant urban environment, and increased physical activity for residents, promoting healthier lives and more resilient community.
