In the city of Herzele, Flanders 🇧🇪 our citizen science campaign helped local authority to assess the impact of a street closure near school (the measure known as a school street) on traffic and air quality in the area. The result was
Less cars
More cyclists
Safer and healthier neighbourhood
More empowered citizens
The success of the Herzele school street pilot reminder to us all that citizens are the greatest asset that cities have. Engage them properly and great things will follow, including:
Abundant hyperlocal data of high quality
Evidence informed decisions to drive better outcomes
Change in behaviour toward sustainable lifestyles
Better health and living environment
