Implemented in Quezon City and Pasig City, the “Sparking active mobility actions for climate-friendly cities” (SPARK) Project demonstrated how short-term street pilots can lead to measurable increases in walking and cycling, improved conditions for public transport users, and reduced transport-related emissions—while building strong community ownership along the way.

The SPARK Project (2022-2025) is implemented by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability in cooperation with the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC). The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUV) through their International Climate Initiative (IKI).
