Over the past few years, cities have quietly added new mobility options. More bike lanes. Shared bikes and scooters becoming familiar. New services promising cleaner and more flexible ways to get around. From the outside, it can look like a clear step forward. In everyday life, it is often less clear. For many people, getting around the city still feels fragmented. Switching between modes takes effort. Services do not always connect with public transport in a way that makes s

Electric mobility is already part of daily life in many cities, even if it rarely draws attention to itself. It shows up in passing moments. A bus moving without the familiar shake. A delivery bike gliding through traffic. A street that feels a bit less overwhelming than it used to. These changes are subtle. Most days, people do not stop to name them.

In Ecuador, the Courier School has grown into a place where people come to learn, connect and find new possibilities for themselves.

Together, UEMI and the partners support people in vulnerable situations who are looking for a way into the labour

Electric mobility is changing the way cities move. But this transition can only go as far as the people who shape it, and women need to be part of those decisions, of the innovation, and of the everyday work behind it. At UEMI, this belief is what drives We Drive Change , a global initiative that puts women at the centre of cleaner, smarter and more inclusive mobility systems . At its core, We Drive Change starts from something simple: gender equality is not an add-on to mob

When we talk about mobility, we often think of cars, motorcycles, and buses. And when we mention sustainable mobility, electric vehicles like e-bikes and eBRTs, transport networks, data, and charging points usually come to mind.And that’s all true and there’s nothing wrong with that. But what if we think about who uses these systems? Cities are made of people, the ones taking their children to school, waiting for the bus after a long day, crossing busy streets carrying bags
