European Mobility Week promotes sustainable transport in Kutina and Slovenj Gradec

European Mobility Week 2026 focuses on intergenerational equity, aiming to create public spaces that serve children, youth, adults, and the elderly through sustainable transport options.

In Kutina, Croatia, the municipality is participating in the campaign by promoting walking, cycling, and public transit. The local tourism board is encouraging citizens to join the ‘Steps for Kutina’ challenge via the walk15 app, with rewards for the most active walkers and cyclists. The event will culminate in a ‘Car-Free Day’ on September 22, 2026, involving the closure of King Tomislav Square to vehicle traffic.

In Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia, the municipality emphasizes sustainable mobility as a lifestyle through investments in pedestrian connections, cycling infrastructure, and green spaces. Recent developments include the expansion of Elizabeth Park, which serves as a hub for active leisure and a starting point for local walking and cycling routes, such as the Mythical Path. The city’s approach focuses on designing public spaces with wide sidewalks and safe paths to ensure accessibility for all age groups.
