The Municipality of Chania represented the city at the CIVINET-PEF Event 2026, a European forum on sustainable urban mobility held in Rome. Officials presented the local initiative "Move it Now," a program designed to encourage residents to adopt greener, more active forms of transport such as walking and cycling around the city. Chania is working toward reducing car dependency in its urban core, which could gradually improve traffic flow and pedestrian access in the old town and harbor areas. For visitors, this signals a longer-term shift toward more walkable streets and potentially expanded cycling infrastructure in the coming years. The old town of Chania is already best explored on foot, and future improvements to pedestrian zones may make navigating the city center more comfortable for tourists arriving by car or bus.
