Detailed description (English): Streets4All Cyprus is an initiative aimed at raising awareness and initiating activism on mobility and accessibility in public space. We care most about it being possible for all to have a walk around and enjoy our cities. We want our streets to change so that it becomes pleasant, easy and safe to stroll, exercise and move around in our daily life.
We want to engage with street users, may these be parents with strollers, wheelchair users, visually impaired or simple pedestrians, enthusiastic cyclists, refined bikers or a gentlemen drivers. Our objectives are to join forces campaigning for better driving and parking behaviour on the streets of Cyrpus and develop concerted action to gain press coverage of mobility problems, political buy-in and commitment to improve the quality of the public realm in Cypriot cities.
Our actions include social media activities and the organisation of events highlighting problems, but also showing the benefits and beauty of car-free areas, good urban design, pedestrian- and cycle-friendly streets.
Target group(s): all street users, pedestrians, pedestrians with mobility issues, cyclists, motorbike and car drivers, local authorities, planning authorities, police
