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

Across Africa, the TRANS-SAFE Living Labs are no longer about testing ideas on paper. They are about what is actually happening on the streets. In Kigali, Cape Town, Kumasi and Lusaka , cities are putting data, training and community input to work in very concrete ways, addressing road safety risks where they are felt most, especially by vulnerable road users. What connects these different places is a shared shift from planning to practice, and a growing confidence that loca

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. But little by little, they alter how cities sound, feel and move. An electric delivery vehicle from the E-Moviliza project, qu

Kochi hosted a MobiliseHER partners’ workshop bringing together UEMI, WRI India, CEPT University Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) and the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), with support from C-HeD. The MobiliseHER is a three-year project, co-funded by EuropeAid, and implemented by a partnership between Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI), WRI India, CEPT Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) and Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA India).

The LeMesurier project came together one last time in Brussels. Even though it was a final event, the atmosphere felt far from an ending. Partners, colleagues and supporters gathered to look at what the project has built and, more importantly, how its work can continue shaping the way Europe understands progress in zero-emission mobility . UEMI joined the discussions in person through Shruti Raje, who represented our team and shared some of the insights gathered over the pas

Officially, the BOOST project has come to an end. But on the ground, where change truly happens, its work continues. The partnerships, ideas and initiatives it helped build are still growing, led by the people who keep them alive. Even though the project has officially wrapped up, the collaboration between UEMI and its local partners goes on. We believe it’s important to show where and how BOOST continues to make an impact ,  to share the stories that remind us what lasting c

Argentina has just opened a new chapter in digitalisation and sustainable mobility with the launch of ACCESS – Accelerating Access to Low Carbon Urban Mobility Solutions through Digitalization . The project was designed to measurably reduce GHG emissions from passenger and freight transport systems in cities across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru . Financed by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature C
