Designing for the Bicycle in our Cities : a Transformative Tool for Human-Focused Planning
Colloque Rues conviviales : entre normes et aménagement urbain
Date
Jeudi 1 juin 2017
Heure
13:00 - 13:30
In an age where the car reigns supremely in our urban centres, building for the bicycle is a powerful tool to modernize our cities and make them more liveable. Understanding how to design our streets for people and not for cars while following the success of a city like Copenhagen teaches us how to harness the transformative power of the bicycle, and go back to the future – when our cities were all bicycle-friendly. These lessons are causing a paradigm shift today in the minds of cities, governments, and civil society – moving gradually towards creating more democratic streets.
