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.

On the road again, running Bologna Marathon, at the pioneer Italian city daring to implement city-wide 30km/h speed limit. Epic finish in Piazza Maggiore in 3 hours 58 minutes. Meeting also and presenting with Deputy Mayors on safer and sustainable city future.

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

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

This time we published the scientific review of the effectiveness of city-wide 30 km/h speed limit worldwide, based on 60 simulation studies and estimations confirming the significant reductions of over 40% of road crash fatalities.

Highly emotional, I participated today in the inauguration of the #MetroThessalonikis, one of the Greatest Projects of modern Greece, to which I dedicated an important part of my life, at the peak of my career as a Civil Engineer.

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.
