During the European Mobility Week, which is celebrated every year between September 16-22, with the theme of 2023 being "Discover Your City - Save Your Future ENERGY!", Turkey broke the all-time participation record with the participation of 670 municipalities. The European Mobility Week, organized as part of the "European Union Support for Sustainable Urban Mobility in Cities Project" (SKUP Turkey), encourages the spread of sustainable urban mobility methods and aims to make countries more livable cities. The closing of the week took place in Istanbul-Eyüpsultan with a cycling tour, a walk and a reception where plaques of appreciation were presented.
