DESCRIPTION:Ioannis Kanakis  & Stelios Rozakis \, Technical University of 
 Crete \nThis paper examines the design and implementation of Active Mobili
 ty Safe School Routes (AMSSR) in Chania\, Greece\, as a case of infrastruc
 tural justice\, focusing on the political reallocation of street space and
  its implications for power\, access\, and everyday mobility. Grounded in 
 an Action Research framework\, the project mobilizes students\, parents\, 
 and teachers as co-producers of knowledge and co-designers of intervention
 s\, foregrounding bottom-up agency in contesting car-dominated urban space
 .\nWe conceptualize AMSSR as a transition experiment that not only tests t
 echnical and behavioral interventions but also reconfigures who has the ri
 ght to occupy and shape the street. By prioritizing walking and cycling fo
 r school travel\, the project implicitly redistributes space away from mot
 orized traffic toward more vulnerable users\, raising critical questions a
 bout stakeholders’ trade offs in decision-making processes in urban mobi
 lity governance.\nThe paper situates the intervention within Chania’s ex
 isting mobility regime—characterized by car dependency\, limited pedestr
 ian and cycling infrastructure\, and fragmented governance—and analyzes 
 whether co-creative processes (awareness-raising\, trust-building\, and st
 akeholder alignment) enable  infrastructural transformation. Early finding
 s highlight tensions between institutional inertia and community-driven de
 mands\, as well as the role of schools as strategic entry points for broad
 er spatial and cultural shifts.\nBy linking Safe School Routes to debates 
 on infrastructural justice and transition theory\, the study contributes t
 o a limited body of literature that frames active school mobility as both 
 a political and spatial intervention. It offers empirical insights into ho
 w small-scale\, community-based projects can challenge dominant allocation
 s of urban space and open pathways toward more equitable and sustainable m
 obility systems.
