But the way People inhabit and use Space is universal Quality Criteria for Space and Architecture must start with considering People
Man is a Walking Animal – Ground Speed 5 km/hour
Our senses are very important
Our senses are the basis for experiencing the environment

Development of car‐free squares and pedestrian/cycle friendly streets 1968 ‐ 2005
In 1962 m2 pedestrian areas
The first pedestrian
promenade is introduced
By 1973
Car-free street network
is developed
1973-2005
In all 22 squares that were
once parking lots are
today places for people
Copenhagen – stationary activity
1968 1986 1995
From 1968 to 1995: Almost 4 times more space and almost 4 times more activity
12 m2/activity 14 m2/activity 13 m2/activity
The Copenhagen Experience proves that improved conditions mean that more people spend more time in the
city
Better conditions for bicycling = more bicyclists
13
The Key to Danish Cycling Success lies in: THE 4 C’S
CONSISTENT
CONNECTED
CONTINUOUS
COMFORTABLE
Simple and user friendly:
Main principles:
CONSISTENT
Main principles:Pedestrians + bicyclists
Parked cars + traffic lanes
Lanes and tracks are always on the right-hand side
CONSISTENT CONNECTED
Placed where demand is highest – where people want to be!

Mexico City
Flat!
Good climate!
Many short trips!
Dangerous!
Unhealthy!
Slow!
Dangerous!26 pedestrians killed on average every day in Downtown
Unhealthy!…obesity and air polution
”… spending a day in Mexico City is the equivalent of smoking over 40 cigarettes a day, without actuallytaking a drag”
”… Mexico is the second‐fattestnation after U.S.”
Slow!Traffic jams– but the bicycle is the fastest form of transportation during rush hour

MSc City Design and Social Science
Contents for this session
1. Insight into the NYC process
2. Holistic approach
– Integrated with the public realm
– Across city departments
– Public and private sectors
3. Using temporary pilot projects
– Together with empirical data
– Efficient and affordable implementation
– To inspire and as a catalyst for change
New York CityNew York City’s incredible list of accomplishments
In June 2009, DOT completed 200 miles of bike lanes in all five boroughs in just three years. (doubling the citywide on‐street bike network while reshaping the city’s streets to make them safer for users)
Of this: 4.9 miles of bike paths physically separated from car traffic lanes, 20 sheltered bike parking structures, andcar traffic lanes, 20 sheltered bike parking structures, and 3,100 bike racks
These projects led to more than 45% growth in commuter cycling in that time (3 years)
.
New York City… and ongoing work
DOT plans are to install 50 lane miles each year until the citywide bicycle network is complete
Overall goal: double bicycle commuting between 2007 and 2015, triple it by 2020
Goal of 1,800 bike lane miles by the year 2030Goal of 1,800 bike lane miles by the year 2030

People first
People don’t change their behavior when you tell them to;
People change when the context compels them to
Copenhagen Modal Split61% of those who bike do so out of convenience
Questions for discussion
1. How do we promote a sense of urgency to speed up the process of changing cycling culture?
2. How can we encourage people that don’t cycle to cycle?
The role of cycling in creating cities for people
3. How can we promote intermodal behavior to encourage cycling as part of transport trips?
Please consider strategies for both‘SOFTWARE’ as well as ‘HARDWARE’
