How should Larissa move — in daily life and in times of crisis? Urban mobility affects everyone; from daily commutes to disruptions caused by natural hazards, infrastructure failures, or social challenges. These pressures highlight the urgent need for mobility systems that are adaptive, inclusive, and resilient.
The AntifragiCity Forum in Larissa brought together around 40 residents, selected to reflect the diversity of the city’s population. Together, participants explored how mobility systems can better meet everyday needs while also responding effectively during crises
Mobility is not just about getting from A to B; it shapes how we live, work, and connect. The Larissa AntifragiCity Forum focused on the following central question:
What urban mobility will make your city more liveable today and prepared to respond to future crises?
Through guided discussions with experts and fellow residents, participants shared experiences, exchanged ideas, and contributed to a collective vision for resilient urban mobility. Outcomes will be shared with local stakeholders and feed into European-level research and policy.
While the Forum was not organised by the city government, it provided a meaningful opportunity for residents to influence discussions both locally and across Europe.

This initiative is part of the AntifragiCity project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program (Grant No. 101203052).
