JUST STREETS is an international Horizon Europe project focusing on (re)developing streets that are sustainable, safe, and inclusive for all citizens. Scheduled from January 2024 to June 2027, it aims to link inclusive streets with supporting climate neutrality goals.

International Expertise

32 international partners collaborate to empower 12 cities in transforming existing streets into just, equal, and human-centered spaces for active mobility – subsequently sharing critical implementation learnings with interested cities from across Europe. JUST STREETS is not only about change; it is about a transformative and systemic shift in perspective when planning and designing public space in cities.

Focus on Citizens

The project focuses on (re)developing streets shaped by active mobility that are both: sustainable and inclusive for all citizens. Realising this shift from streets for the exclusive use by cars towards street space for more active modes of mobility will be led by prioritizing the needs and visions of social groups often under-represented in urban planning. This includes particularly women, migrants, the elderly, children, LGBTQI+ individuals, and people with disabilities.

Climate impact

Inclusiveness is not an isolated goal. Instead, JUST STREETS will be fostering resilient communities and resilient cities – as all its objectives help neighbourhoods to move towards their climate neutrality goals.
