Imagine if your city's streets were designed like a giant health app, making it effortless to walk or bike instead of drive. This initiative turns urban travel into a tool for fighting cancer by making active movement the easiest choice for everyone. It uses digital tools and better street layouts to nudge people toward healthier habits while cleaning up the air.
Cities struggle to reduce carbon emissions and improve public health simultaneously. There is a disconnect between transport infrastructure and healthcare goals, leading to sedentary lifestyles and higher cancer risks.
Digital behavioral tools, C-ITS integrated transport solutions, and physical infrastructure modifications tested in 12 urban living labs.
If you are a design firm dealing with outdated city layouts — this project developed infrastructure interventions in 12 living labs that increase walking and cycling by over 30% in specific areas.
If you are a software company dealing with low user engagement in fitness apps — this project developed digital tools and behavioral interventions to integrate active travel into cancer prevention pathways.
If you are a consultancy dealing with municipal carbon targets — this project developed a model to help cities achieve a reduction in GHG emissions of more than 15%.
Based on available project data, there is no information regarding the pricing or cost of the specific tools developed.
The project tests solutions across 12 living labs in 18 countries, suggesting a design intended for wide European scaling.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not disclosed.
The project is scheduled to run from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2029.
The project utilizes C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) and multi-modal digital tools to connect health and transport strategies.
The consortium is highly diverse with 36 partners across 18 countries, showing strong international reach. While it is research-heavy (8 research organizations and 2 universities), there is a significant operational component with 21 'other' entities (likely municipalities) and 5 industry partners, including 6 SMEs, indicating a focus on practical urban implementation over pure theory.
