In this two-part show, Armen Georgian takes viewers on a journey across the European Union, exploring mobility and transport projects funded by the EU’s cohesion policy. In the 2021-2027 budget, the EU has been using its cohesion funds to invest €63.2 billion in transport schemes. From France to Austria, via Poland and Hungary, Armen takes a whistle-stop tour using seven different means of transport: train, plane, metro, tram, bicycle, scooter, and car.

The show highlights modern infrastructure and improved connectivity between regions of the EU.

Our journey begins in France, along a cycle path near Paris co-funded by the EU, before heading to Poland, which has become a major transport hub in Central Europe.

Our guests include Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who outlines his priorities for the capital, and Poland's Secretary of State in the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy, Jan Szyszko, who explains why the country is betting so much on rail transport.

FRANCE 24's Luke Brown reports from an exciting future transport hub under construction, Port Polska, which will be crucial to strengthening connectivity within Poland and also between Poland and other European countries.
