A Shoestring Award
The Shoestring project and Shoestring Awards are to help support communities and those working with them, with tired and tested initiatives that have proven to be affordable and effective in getting more people to walk more often.
Rethinking Cities is managing the compilation of a directory of affordable and effective initiatives and would welcome suggestions. The Shoestring project was launched at the MobiliTI conference in Mendrisio, Switzerland in May.
