The CIVITAS FORUM 2011 was held in Funchal, the capital of Madeira, Portugal.

As part of CIVITAS MIMOSA, Funchal wanted to demonstrate that improvements to the urban mobility system can be beneficial for tourism and overall quality of life. In Madeira, cycling is not common due to the hilly landscape. In the scope of MIMOSA, Funchal will provide an intermodal line between bus and bike that will allow people to combine healthy exercise and ecological transport modes. A large-scale eco-driving campaign and cycling promotion are projected to lead to considerable energy savings, and new green lanes are hoped to increase public transport user satisfaction by 30 percent. The city also aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 10 percent through the introduction of cleaner vehicles, mostly hybrid cars.
