EVUE - Electric Vehicles in Urban Environment : The Green Solution

The video reminds that cities must be at the forefront of the efficiency of European societies and shows that they often are. The experiences of the URBACT project EVUE is at the core of the video, with an interview of Sally Kneeshaw, the lead expert of the project, in Westminster.

At the conference, the CoR argued that "our earth needs all levels of government, including local and regional, to engage for a transition towards responsible and sustainable development". This belief is shared by many URBACT cities, who are working on energy efficiency and sustainable development, on top of the partners of EVUE.

Project Active Travel Network, led by the city of Weiz (Austria), aims at tackling transport problems by promoting walking and cycling in small and medium size cities; CASH looks at ways to ensure sustainable housing; and LINKS sees in the renewal of old European cities as a key for sustainability. The new project “Sustainable food for urban communities” will focus on innovative initiatives for more sustainable food production, retail and consumption in urban communities.
