All week
Athens, the capital of Greece, is a densely built-up city with relatively limited public space and overcrowded by parked or moving vehicles and scooters, leaving very limited space for pedestrians, children, cyclists and social functions. We want to take the opportunity of the European Mobility Week and bring forward for open public discussion the issues of human scale, environment, effective mobility, sustainable transport modes, respect to ourselves, to nature, to our fellow people, to our children. We want to discuss about public transport, public space, the bicycle and even for cleaner and smarter ways for the usage of cars and motorised private vehicles in the future. In this open public dialogue, we want to get involved as many as possible stakeholders, active citizens or citizen's organisations and provide them with the opportunity to propose, participate and take initiatives, in an organised and civilized manner. Since the existing infrastructure is limited and expensive, we want to cultivate new concepts of respect and co-existence with priority care and sensitivity for the most vulnerable users of the city common space. This will be the focal point of our major activity this year, the change of behaviour, thus starting building our "intangible" infrastructure.
