Poznan – City Development Forum

During the 4th edition of the Forum we want to answer the question whether the vision of a friendly city with safe streets and space for spending time together is achievable. How to achieve maximum safety on the streets? Can education help with this, together with the support of modern technologies?  What is the role of residents in building security in their own city? The Norwegian project “Vision Zero”, i.e. an effective strategy to reduce the number of accidents in road traffic, can be a model to follow. Not a single child died on Norwegian roads in 2019. This is the result of long-term, thoughtful and interdisciplinary work. Pedestrian safety, especially for the youngest traffic participants, is the theme of the Vienna project “School Streets” project, which allows students to safely use public space in the school environment, integrating by walking or commuting to school by bike or scooter and learning healthy and ecological forms of mobility.
