The Venice Visualization project is sponsored by CIVITAS, a European Union initiative to create cleaner and better transport in cities. (CIVITAS stands for CIty-VITAlity-Sustainability.) With the CIVITAS Initiative, the EC aims to generate a decisive breakthrough by supporting and evaluating the implementation of ambitious integrated sustainable urban transport strategies that should make a real difference for the welfare of the European citizen. Within CIVITAS I (2002-2006) there are 19 cities clustered in 4 demonstration projects, whilst within CIVITAS II (2005-2009) 17 cities in 4 demonstration projects are taking part. These 36 cities all over Europe will be funded by the EU with 100 M € and the overall budget of the Initiative will be more than 300 M.
CIVITAS MOBILIS partners cities of Toulouse (France), Debrecen (Hungary), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Venice (Italy) and Odense (Denmark), and their local mobility stakeholders – strive to create a culture for clean urban mobility in the framework of sustainable development, ensuring involvement of all relevant stakeholders and participation of citizens. MOBILIS aims to implement radical strategies for clean urban transport in all five cities, building on a broad range of policies and instruments. [one of which is] -Enhancing public transport quality and integration with other transport modes substantially (private car, bicycle) through innovative planning and service development.
