Brochure Sustainable transport in V4 town and cities
Sustainable development and especially sustainable transport exist more in theory than in reality in all V4 countries. That is why it is still an open question how to make strategies more effective and ideas real. Many initiatives and NGOs arose in each country to help their cities and towns improve this situation. They have been implementing many activities for years and finally started to be successful and have reached positive results. The situation varies from country to country. There are many different public approaches and a different know-how within the V4 countries.
The main objective of this project is to promote the V4 cooperation in the field of the sustainable transport by the creation of the common platform of the V4 NGOs to share their experiences and the best examples. It will help to develop stronger and more sophisticated voice to be better heard in public and thus to communicate and cooperate more effectively with municipalities.
