Get moving! – Healthy streets in Eggenlend

Building on the results of the previous participatory project “Pro Rad Pro Aktiv”, in which key demands for active, health-oriented mobility were developed together with citizens, the city of Graz, and experts, “Get moving!” takes up these approaches and puts them into practice.

The project focuses on the participatory redesign of two streets based on the Healthy Streets approach. The aim is to implement concrete measures that promote active travel – on foot, by bike or other forms of soft mobility – while contributing to people's physical and mental health.

Using interactive methods such as community mapping, stakeholder workshops, and site visits, the needs and potential of the street spaces are analyzed together with residents and local stakeholders. On this basis, tailor-made measures are developed that enable healthy and socially inclusive use of public space.

The project is being implemented in close cooperation with the Eggenlend district center and is supported by an interdisciplinary advisory board of experts. In order to achieve a broad impact, Healthy Streets multipliers are being trained to actively promote the concept in the neighborhood as a link between the project team and the population.
