Good Practices identified within the project
51 successful initiatives in greening or improving mobility in rural areas (good practices) have been assembled by the Move on Green partnership. Each one has been described in a template summarizing most of the key issues characterising it and some of them have been presented during project meetings.
- Consult the full Good Practices collection here (in German here and in Latvian here) and you can also have a look on the short version with a summary of each Good Practice (in English here, in Spanish here, in Polish and in Latvian here)
Our good practices are clustered into 9 different types depending on their main objectives (but this does not mean that some good practices cannot be included in several categories).
