H ACTUALMENTE UM CONTEXTO EXISTENTE

BECAUSE THIS MODEL WAS DEVELOPED DURING DECADES

BECAUSE THIS MODEL WAS DEVELOPED DURING DECADES

THERE ARE SEVERAL CONFLICTS WITH PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS

IN A CITY OF CARS, WHAT STRATEGY DID WE CHOOSE TO INCREASE CYCLISTS? AND

COULD WE HAVE MADE DIFFERENTLY?

IN 2007:
VERY FEW CYCLISTS IN THE CITY VERY FEW INFRASTRUCURE AND NO FACILITIES FEW BIKE ACCEPTANCE BY THE SOCIETY
DRIVERSCULTURE OF INTOLERANCE OVER ROAD USERS

IN 2007 : BESIDES
-

SOME CHANGES, FINANCIAL RUPTURE IN THE MUNICIPALITY THIS IS THE FRAMEWORK IN 2014. URBAN PROBLEMS:
LACK OF PUBLIC SPACE FOR PEDESTRIANS EXTREME CAR CULTURE NEW GREEN SPACES NEEDS & LACK OF ECOLOGICAL CONTINUITY

DECISION: TO CHANGE FAST

- TO INVEST ON GREEN AND PUBLIC SPACE, SIMULTANEOUSLY - TO CREATE ECOLOGICAL CONTINUITIES AND GREENWAYS - TO LEAD THAT RECREATIONAL CYCLING TURNS TO COMMUTING CYCLING

- TO PUT CYCLING FAST ON THE MAINSTREAM

WHAT KIND OF INVESTMENTS?

1. Largely on the City flat areas 2. Mainly associated to greenways
3. Clear language, as a new image entering in the City 4. Usefull, linking to main transport interfaces or major equipments 5. Safe structures, atractive to new users

6. Financial adjustable to the situation
