✨#Listen2Cities The #VeniceWinterSchool wraps up with the commitment to breaking silos for SDG Localization @SDGLocalAction @UNDP with these three key messages ✅Cities and territories must be at the center. Public services should respond to people's needs and rights. ✅Local governments are not just service providers. They can lead change, but they need resources, powers and strong partnerships. ✅ We need to move from separate projects to shared missions. We need common goals, joint action and concrete results.

✨#Listen2Cities 🚟The second day of #VeniceWinterSchool @UNDP @SDGLocalAction placed the focus on a caring view of our public space and how to ensure a sustainable mobility. 🗣️“Mobility is about making rights accessible. It determines whether people can reach their jobs, healthcare, school and where they develop their lives. Who can move safely and who gets left behind.” @mariale_rico, Head of Programs, UCLG 🗣️“What we measure shapes what we value, and what we prioritize for funding” Harini Ravichandran, Senior Assistant Director, @The_CLC_SG, Singapore 🗣️"Mobility is not gender neutral. Over 55% of all journeys are made by women. Treating public transport and urban mobility without applying a gender lens risks unequal outcomes." - @Cande0420, Undersecretary of @Bogota District Secretariat of Mobility 🗣️“A consistent policy of reduction of the space for vehicles for private motorized vehicles to reduce congestion, increase green spaces and reach your climate goal can only be legitimate and possible if you offer a strong alternative in public transportation.” — Ramon Canal Oliveras, Coordinator of @bcn_ajuntament Climate Plan"
