EU Support for Promoting Sustainable Urban Mobility in Turkish Cities

The project “EU Support for Promoting Sustainable Urban Mobility in Turkish Cities” is aiming at promoting Sustainable Urban Mobility practices across the country over a total period of 36 months. The project is part of the country’s accession efforts to align its national policy, institutional and regulatory frameworks to those of the EU. Within the project, our consortium will: 

  • support the communication and policy dialogue on sustainable urban mobility among Turkish stakeholders, 
  • build capacities among planners and decision-makers for strategic, integrated planning and for sustainable mobility policy solutions, 
  • enhance the visibility of sustainable urban mobility through the promotion of the European Mobility Week in Turkey. 

During the project lifetime, a team of international and local experts will assist the Union of Turkish Municipalities, which gathers the almost 1400 municipalities of the country under one roof, in their endeavours of creating the conditions for a more sustainable and carbon-free mobility system in Turkish cities.
