At a recent podcast in 4NewMobility Leadership Talk, hosted by Astrid Rohles, we discussed about 30 km/h speed zones which turned into something much bigger: a vision for healthier, safer and more human cities. Steady pace wins the race … in Marathons and in Mobility.

Proud of Greece daring to introduce today, city-wide 30km/h speed limit in all urban streets of one or two directions with one lane per direction - the second EU country after Spain. A bold move of the Greek Government towards a new road safety culture.

We need to talk about your "freedom to drive" and why it's killing people.

At the Y-Mobility latest podcast: linkedin.com/pulse/speed-...

Genuine question: When did we decide that driving fast was a right rather than a privilege?

At my latest nice podcast on reimagining urban mobility with city-wide 30km/h speed limits, we discussed with Manos Charalambakis, the 30km/h high benefits of not only reducing on average 37% road fatalities but also promoting public transport in more livable and sustainable cities for all.

What a bliss to accomplish my 30 Marathons in 30 months (all in less than 4 hours) in Athens, with very strong emotions along the 42 km route and at the magnificent finish line at the Panathinaikon Marble Stadium surrounded by the greatest fellow runners.
