Cargo bikes - an asset for a sustainable transport system

Hosted by

Växjö municipality

How smaller cities can act as change drivers in transforming the logistics of municipalities, businesses and social & cultural institutions.

Hybrid conference October 14th, 2021, in Växjö, Sweden or online

The focus of the conference is small and medium-sized cities, presenting tools, examples, and methods to overcome challenges and address your community's transportation needs. Compared to big cities and megacities, the small and medium-sized cities normally have their own specific conditions to consider, which requires specific investigations and solutions.
