CYCLING CITIES
Our Sustainable Urban Mobility/ Cycling Cities books present historically-informed policy studies supporting today’s sustainable urban mobility transition. Why did motorized traffic historically replace sustainable walking and cycling, and how can the latter be empowered today to create a more sustainable future?
Since the Cycling Cities opening publication (research agenda & case studies on Amsterdam, Utrecht, Enschede, Eindhoven, Southeast-Limburg; Antwerp; Copenhagen; Hannover; Stockholm, Malmö; Basel; Manchester; Budapest; and Lyon), additional studies have been published on Arnhem/Nijmegen, Munich, The Hague, Rotterdam, and Johannesburg.
