Meet our host: Utrecht

Utrecht is a vibrant city located at the heart of the Netherlands. With a metropolitan population of around 600,000 and a central position at the crossroads of major roads and railways, it attracts some 90,000 commuters daily.

Renowned as the most bike-friendly city in the world (2022), Utrecht has embraced cycling as a cornerstone of its urban mobility.

Beyond this, the city has taken bold strides in sustainable transport with its Mobility Plan 2040, which integrates mobility with spatial planning. Key strategies include densifying areas around transit hubs, creating mixed-use spaces, and prioritising walking and cycling.

By designing safe, inviting public spaces and reducing motorised traffic, Utrecht is reshaping its urban environment for a greener future.
