About the project
Arterials are high-capacity roads that connect centers and are designed to distribute large amounts of traffic as smoothly as possible. The concept emerged with the rise of mass motorization to accommodate the growing car mobility and ensure accessibility to sprawling residential and industrial areas. However their development came at the expense of other users, public space, air quality and economic vitality.
With growing challenges linked to climate change, urbanization and social inequality, the role of these major arteries is questioned in favor of the development of Green Multimodal Corridors. The implementation of these corridors is a complex multifaceted challenge and requires new integrated approaches to mobility planning, public space design, greenery, stormwater management and governance.
Our goal is to learn and exchange new approaches to Corridor planning and to find innovative concrete solutions to enable and sustain these large-scale green infrastructure transformations

Partners we are looking for
We are looking for a balanced mix of partners from the East, West and North of Europe that may benefit from different perspectives and level of development.
Preferably partners should be located in cities, metro areas and regions having large road arteries that have been retrofitted or have plans to be retrofit them.
