Details The DUT project Fair Mobility is organizing a festival in Vienna and Ebensee, Austria. When? 27 to 29 May 2026 The focus is rethinking mobility through the lens of equity, accessibility, and socio-spatial justice. The three-day event is a space for intersectional exchange, where the voices of women, gender minorities, and marginalized communities take center stage in shaping the future of mobility. By challenging car-centric norms and amplifying the lived experiences of those most affected by mobility gaps, Fair Mobility co-creates solutions that prioritize care, safety, and inclusion. Through participatory design, street experiments, and governance initiatives, the project demonstrates how mobility can be transformed from a technical challenge into a collective act of justice. Whether you’re exploring gendered mobility patterns, care-based travel needs, or inclusive urban planning, this festival is an opportunity to contribute to a movement that places fairness at the core of how we move. Join us and take part in the exchange.

Cities are nodes of development and a source of opportunities. With development arises challenges and one among them is rising GHG emissions in Cities. To mitigate the risks and reduce emissions and its associated infrastructure uncertainties, we transitioned from Cities to zoned Central Business District (CBDs) to resolve issues of congestion, employment and pollution and then structurally created Smart Cities however its time to question ourselves and introspect whether Cities need to be Smart our its citizens and their actions and participation, the answer would be definitely citizens, an empowered and participatory citizens can shape the dynamics of Cities. As though Smart Cities solved our issues, we are evolving in constant evolution in emissions and its impact. So in order to size this priority issue of concern let's transition from Smart to Systemic Cities and also its citizens being Systemic in approach and participation. With this thought leadership to accelerate this event is planned, Solicit many of thr folks for participation for strengthening the purpose of Cities and its citizens.

This session is part of the recurring onboarding series for Mission-minded cities. The Orientation Phase is a recurring onboarding activity designed to introduce mission-minded cities to the Cities Mission Platform, the services offered by NetZeroCities, and how to access and use them effectively. It also provides insights from Mission Cities on their early climate strategies. This onboarding phase consists of two online sessions and creates space for mission-minded cities to engage with NetZeroCities, exchange experiences, and gain a clear understanding of the EU Cities Mission approach. The second orientation session focuses on the Mission approach and its key features. A labelled Mission City will present the main components of its climate action plan, demonstrating how existing policies and frameworks—such as SECAPs and SUMPs—can be built upon to create a strong foundation for the journey toward climate neutrality. The session will also introduce national platforms and highlight key elements of national ecosystems that support and advance the EU Cities Mission. Session objectives: - Introduce the key principles and features of the EU Cities Mission approach. - Share practical insights from a labelled Mission City on developing a climate action plan. - Demonstrate how existing local strategies and frameworks can support the transition to climate neutrality. - Present the role of national platforms and ecosystems in advancing the Cities Mission.
