A Decalogue of proposals to improve the mobility of our cities has also been drawn up, which will be announced this week.

The inauguration of the 2010 edition will be carried out by the Ministers of the Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs, Elena Espinosa, and of Health and Social Policy, Trinidad Jiménez. It will be in the MARM Assembly Hall from 9:30 am on Thursday 16 (Plaza San Juan de la Cruz, s/n. Madrid).
