TERRAIN - Twinning and Engagement in the Transition of Transport Towards Climate Neutrality

TERRAIN is an innovative project that promotes sustainable urban mobility in the Adriatic-Ionian Macroregion. Bologna, selected as a mentor city alongside Ioannina (Greece), Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Zagreb (Croatia), participates in this initiative under the coordination of the Hellenic Centre for Research and Technology. These cities, designated by the EU as Mission Cities and committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2030, will support the project alongside five follower cities in the Balkan region from countries in pre-accession to the European Union: Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Berane (Montenegro), Pančevo (Serbia), Skopje (North Macedonia) and Durrës (Albania).

TERRAIN addresses the challenges of climate change, aiming to reduce emissions from car traffic and enhance public transport and active mobility. The project includes the involvement of citizens and stakeholders through Living Labs, which will encourage active participation in the co-development of mobility solutions.

In Bologna, the pilot action aligns with the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PUMS) and the General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU), focusing on supporting the decarbonization of public transport and the implementation of the 30 km/h city initiative, which aims to lower speed limits to reduce pollution and accidents while increasing the livability of urban areas. Among the expected outcomes is a change in citizen behavior towards more sustainable mobility forms, supported by a specific communication campaign.

With funding of €201.555 from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), TERRAIN aims to make Bologna and the other participating cities more resilient and livable, contributing to a sustainable future for the Macroregion.
