Final Event Urban Challenges - Making Public Transport Safe for All

Impact Hub Stockholm invites you to the conclusion of Urban Challenges Project, a three-year collaboration between the Swedish Institute, Impact Hub Stockholm, and Impact Hub's Latin American Network, that had the purpose of creating safer public transportation with an emphasis on vulnerable groups.

For 3 years, the project's goal was to develop solutions to societal issues through cross-border collaborations that spanned multiple industries. The societal issues addressed included: sexual abuse and harassment at bus stations and on bus lines, illegal public transportation, slow flow of travellers, increased levels of crime and high incidence of robberies, among others.

During the program, we established partnerships with 25+ institutions, involved 600+ members of civil society and facilitated the co-creation of 14 different approaches to address the complex issues relating to public transportation in Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

Join us on February 10 as we share the learnings and results of the Urban Challenges project spanning Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. We will also be presenting a guide for creating positive impact through multilateral collaborations.

We will provide simultaneous interpretation to Spanish, English and Portuguese. To tune in, click here to open the event's link.

Learn about the challenges and impact of our work in the following areas:

• Stockholm, Sweden - Open drug trade in and around the commuter train traffic in Stockholm creates an unsafe environment for travellers
• Brasilia, Brazil - Inadequate walkways and unsatisfactory infrastructure creates an unsafe environment that prevents women from walking and using public transport
• Fortaleza, Brazil - Many travellers are robbed at the bus stops along a bus line
• Bogotá, Colombia - Abuse and sexual harassment at specific bus stations
• Naucalpan de Juárez, México - A chaotic transit station, one of the most visited in the state of Mexico, leads to a slow flow of travellers and increased crime levels

Our local partners include MTR Nordic and Huddinge Municipality in Sweden; Brasilia State Secretariat for Transport and Mobility and Fundação de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (CITINOVA) - Agency within the Municipality of Fortaleza in Bra`zil; Secretary of Mobility in the State of Mexico; and Transmetro in Barranquilla and Transmilenio in Bogotá, Colombia.
