We visited the city to learn firsthand how this transformation was achieved and to speak with those who made it possible: Miguel Anxo Fernández Lores (Mayor of Pontevedra since 1999), Anabel Gulías (Councilor and Head of the Department of Equality, Welfare, Health, and Economy), Xosé Manuel Tato (Director General of Urban Planning), and Daniel Macenlle (Director General of Citizen Protection). ➡️ How did they reclaim public space? ➡️ What political and technical decisions made the change possible? ➡️ What can other cities learn from the Pontevedra model? 💚 What is the School of Sustainable Mobility? We believe that only mobility that benefits people, communities, and the planet is truly sustainable. We help people access the knowledge, criteria, and skills to become agents of change: supporting organizations, communities, and regions in achieving sustainable mobility.
