DynamiCity’s overall goal is to place active mobility at the centre of integrated health, transport and climate strategies. The project will: 

• promote walking, cycling and micro-mobility as part of cancer prevention and survivorship pathways;  

• support cities in designing and implementing active mobility interventions adapted to local contexts;  

• improve the safety, accessibility and attractiveness of active travel;  

• use behavioural and digital tools to encourage healthier mobility choices;  

• evaluate the health, environmental, safety, economic and equity impacts of the interventions;  

• foster stronger collaboration between health, transport, urban planning and climate stakeholders;  

• contribute to EU-level guidance on active mobility and cancer prevention.  

Through these activities, DynamiCity will support wider European priorities, including Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, the Cities Mission, the Cancer Mission and the EU Cycling Declaration. 

Living Labs and Demonstration Activities 

DynamiCity will work through 12 living labs across Europe, bringing together cities with different mobility systems, urban contexts and public health needs. The living labs will serve as testing grounds for active and micro-mobility interventions, allowing the project to assess what works, under which conditions, and for whom. 

The project will focus on both lead and follower cities, combining implementation, evaluation and knowledge transfer. Twinning activities will also help extend the project’s results beyond the initial demonstrator cities, supporting mutual learning and replication across Europe. 

By the end of the project, DynamiCity aims to support participating cities in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing walking and cycling in selected demonstrator areas.
