MIRACLESMIRACLES is a project that assembles four major European cities: Rome (I), Barcelona (E), Winchester (UK), Cork (IRL).
The Miracles project answer the call of the European Commission for "increasing the urban transport system's sustainability and efficiency through radical strategies for Clean Urban Transport. "
In recent years, increased private mobility in metropolitan areas has caused a rapid and wide decrease in the quality of urban environment. The reduction of transport-related negative externalities encompassing mainly congestion, poor air quality and excessive noise levels, as well as growing energy consumption is a clear challenge facing European authorities at all levels. |
