Eshaping cities to improve quality of life and to strengthen climate resilience is daunting. It calls for political leadership to engage directly with people and businesses to ensure creating and owning a shared vision of the future, backed by sound evidence, extensive strategic plans, integrated policies, effective governance, long-term commitment, and funding. The results are spectacular transformations: beautiful and vibrant public spaces for people, healthy lifestyles, better quality of life, good vibes, and a comprehensive network of sustainable urban transport solutions. The strength lies in the delivery. Making the urban dream come true – from research-backed visions to action.
The City of Rimini is a shining example — it has reimagined itself from car-centric to a place for people through continuous urban regeneration and the steady growth of its cycling network.
