We keep you updated: TUMI Covid Challenges
In 2020, the world was struck by the COVID-19 pandemic, and for a moment, the world seemed to stand still. TUMI realized that in order to ensure people’s mobility, health, and safety, cities needed to be supported in reacting to their citizens’ new mobility needs and habits.
Adding onto the TUMI Global Urban Mobility Challenge, we are thus happy to present the TUMI Covid Challenges.
One example is our work with Mombasa County, Kenya to investigate how low-cost, flexible interventions like car-free streets and outdoor dining can provide space for recreation and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Thanks to TUMI Partners ITDP & UN-Habitat & GIZ-Kenya.
We will keep you updated on the projects’ developments via Twitter: follow the hashtags #TUMICovidChallenge #TUMIChallenge
