Everything for Everyone in Our City Together on the road with respect, equality, and solidarity
The European Mobility Week is each year a unique opportunity to see our city differently. Not only as a network of roads and buildings, but as a space of life, communication, and shared experiences.
In Palaio Faliro, we believe that mobility is not limited to transport; it is a right for everyone and a reflection of how we coexist. Streets that connect, squares filled with smiles, neighborhoods that embrace their citizens and give everyone the chance to move freely and with dignity.
Our message this year, “Everything for Everyone in Our City,” emphasizes that mobility is not a luxury; it is the future we build together. It is the child who reaches school safely, the worker who moves without stress, the elderly person who enjoys a walk without obstacles, the person with a disability who participates equally in every activity.
