About Walk21 Portugal
The 24th International Walk21 Conference on Walking and Liveable Communities is being hosted by the Institute of Mobility and Transport on behalf of the Government of the Portuguese Republic in partnership with the City of Lisbon.
Additionally, this event is organised in collaboration with Walk21 and ISCTE. Together with experts from across Europe and around the globe, this in-person only event will share insights and expertise on how to develop and implement walking policies and programmes that deliver walkable communities and safer streets, broader community participation, and enhance the value of walking.
Calling politicians, engineers, campaigners, academics, and planners to share your experience and be part of the discussions and activities at Walk21 Portugal. You are invited to discuss how walking policies and projects are transforming the urban paradigm; impacting people’s walking experiences; helping deliver on safety, equity and climate goals; and attracting investment for urban development that supports people walking.
Join us as we explore what makes a successful national policy, local action or transformative project for walking.
