    How to move a crowd: a mobility cookbook for modest cities with big festivals (by Petr Schiller and Ameba Production team)

    Since 2007, the four-day Rock for People festival has been held in Hradec Králové (Czech Republic), with attendance steadily increasing each year. However, last year the city hosted a premiere event that welcomed the same number of visitors in just one day. The key to success was communication and proper coordination among the organizational team’s various components. This article offers a retrospective look at how the transportation situation was managed before, during, and after the events that took place last year at Park 360. In addition to the festival, two concerts by global megastar Ed Sheeran brought nearly 100,000 people to the city—roughly equivalent to its entire population. Yet, everything went smoothly, and the city's regular traffic was not disrupted.

  • Finalising our City Centre Playbook and finding inspiration in Celje: takeaways from our Fifth Quarterly Network Report

    Throughout this first quarter of the year, the URBACT Local Groups (ULGs) in each city have been deeply involved in a series of collaborative meetings. These sessions have served as a valuable forum for co-creating IAP (Integrated Action Plans) visions and objectives and defining the Action Tables together with the local stakeholders. ULGs seek to drive meaningful progress that aligns with the overarching objectives of the network while addressing the unique challenges and opportunities within their respective cities.

  • Kaip Europos miestai padeda vieni kitiems siekti tvaraus judumo – URBACT programos PUMA projekto istorija

    Nors transporto sektorius yra gyvybiškai svarbi ES ekonomikos dalis – jis sudaro 5 % BVP ir jame dirba 10 mln. žmonių, jis taip pat kelia didelių aplinkosaugos iššūkių. Apie 25 % visų ES CO₂ emisijų susidaro dėl transporto, o kelių transportas sudaro 71,7 % šių emisijų. Be to, 23 % emisijų susidaro miestuose, kur gyvena dauguma ES piliečių.
