The SMILE partners selected 14 champion cities in Europe (Aalborg, Berlin, Camden, Gent, Graz, Groningen, Krakow, La Rochelle, Lund, Modena, Nantes, Nottingham, Parma, Terrassa) that can show good practice examples of sustainable mobility. These cities invite you to learn from their sustainable transport policies. The SMILE Study Tour Catalogue (EN, ES) enables you to carry out study visits to these cities. This favours the exchange of know-how and the replication of good practices.

On-site visits, information, meetings with players engaged in practical actions and exchanges of experience: 14 European cities throw open their doors to all interested elected representatives, municipal officers or technicians.

  • Meet local decision makers, public transport operators, technicians, and local stakeholders.
  • Visit mobility centres and mobility managers in private companies.
  • Experience innovative bicycle and pedestrian policies and state of the art public transport services.

SMILE partners can organise visits for you - and with you - in all the participating cities. A typical two-day visit is proposed for each city. If you are interested, please contact us to receive a more detailed proposal.

"Welcome to 14 European Cities... An Invitation to take Action", the SMILE Study Tour Catalogue and Site Visits is available in the "Results" section of the website.
