Detailed description (English): City Motion is an innovative event presenting alternative traffic and technology alternatives in the urban space. The event will provide a glimpse into the future of transportation, with the understanding that transportation is a catalyst for change in public space and significantly impacts our quality of life as a community.
The event's purpose is to expose the public to changes that can arise from changing traffic habits in the urban space, such as: improving air quality, reducing noise, thriving small businesses, and more.
The festival is organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation, Tel-Aviv Municipality, and other public companies. By collaborating with government officials and private actors in the innovative transportation sector, we will be able to bring the vision closer to the street and the public.
This year will be the fourth time we will hold the festival, which is scheduled for September 15-16.
