ICLEI - Sustainable Mobility

🌟 Transforming Streets for People: Quezon City's Tactical Urbanism 🌟 On December 7, Quezon City launched a redesigned Maginhawa Street as part of the #SPARK Project, to promote sustainable urban mobility through community-driven tactical urbanism. 📍Maginhawa Street turned into a vibrant, people-centered space designed to prioritize active mobility. 🎨Over 150 volunteers helped transform the street with colorful murals, shared pathways, and public spaces crafted from recycled materials, reclaiming the street from cars and prioritizing people. 🚶♀️🚴♂️ The intervention fosters walking and cycling, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport while enhancing public health and equity. Motorized transport contributes 30% of the Philippines' energy-related emissions, making initiatives like this crucial for a greener future. The project will expand to Pasig City in 2025. The SPARK Project is implemented by ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) and the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC). This initiative is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMUV) through International Climate Initiative (IKI) Maginhawa Street is now more than a road, it's a hub for community, creativity, and climate-friendly mobility 🚴♀️🌏 ICLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat Learn more about the SPARK Project: https://lnkd.in/evYa5K6K Learn more about the launch event here: https://lnkd.in/erasnmcp Tu-My Tran ICLEI ICLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat Quezon City Government Heba Attia Mousa
