Let’s get moving

Chapter 1

Ljubljana

Two years ago Slovenia’s largest city was the European Green Capital and the removal of motorised traffic from its historic centre opened up vast areas of public space. Since then the city has been reaping the rewards of turning around its urban-transit issues. We explore.

Chapter 2

Toronto

Darnel Harris has been working closely with the community to develop a new proposal aimed at improving connectivity and fostering entrepreneurship. We find out more about the Mobility Greenway Project.

Chapter 3

Brisbane

Brisbane is home to one of the world’s first urban-linear ferry networks. The City Cat ferries cover about 15 kilometres of the Brisbane river and, while patronage has grown in recent years, most of their success has been with tourism rather than mass public transit.

Chapter 4

Helsinki

Our correspondent in Helsinki, Petri Burtsov, takes us hopping from bus to tram to bicycle to see what the city gets right when it comes to mobility.
