Quito launches Active Mobility Week to rethink urban road sharing

Quito's municipal government has activated a week-long initiative promoting active mobility—bicycles, walking, and dialogue—to reshape how pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers share road space. The program signals a policy shift toward sustainable urban transport, though its immediate impact on traffic patterns or infrastructure investment remains uncertain. This is a notable local development in urban mobility planning, but not a major geopolitical or economic event.
