The cooperation between EURIST and the city of Izmir resulted in a request from the town councilors to present the ropeway theme in a workshop – and, if necessary, to integrate it into the city’s future transport planning as an urban means of transport.
In addition to a general introduction to Sustainable Urban Mobility, EURIST used a brief study to analyze key issues and the current situation of the city’s transport sector with key transport stakeholders and explained the potential of urban cable cars.
In addition, potential corridors for pilot projects were discussed in group work phases.
Participants of the workshop were composed of important stakeholders in the transport sector of the city which were invited in cooperation between EURIST and the city of Izmir. The aim of the event was to make this group of participants a task force that develops and pursues more concrete steps regarding a feasibility study and other activities.
