Dear Colleagues, THE PEP Staffete is continuing!
We are inviting you to a workshop on safe and healthy walking and cycling in urban areas to be held on 30 September – 1 October 2010 in Batumi.
You will have opportunity to participate in roundtable discussions and work to identify challenges and needs, as to promote innovative policies for planning, financing, infrastructure development and regulations to support walking and cycling as increasingly viable and attractive modes of urban mobility.
