Normalise Cycling: Realising World-Class Cycling Programmes

As society grapples with climate change, crowding cities, and a renewed focus on personal well being, it is clear that diverse and sustainable mobility will play a key role in our future.

Cycling’s many benefits are self-evident – less CO2 emissions than other modes, improved physical and mental health of the rider, less crowded streets, and the opportunity to reclaim roads for other activities.

Over the past 100 years, cycling has taken hold in some regions of the world, from Northern Europe to China, where cycling has helped them reimagine their urban landscapes while providing equitable and sustainable access to all their residents. Meanwhile, other regions are just starting to integrate cycling as a solution to their mobility challenges. In both cases, cycling will play a central role in the future of mobility as we transition to greener and more user friendly society.

Creating a healthy and sustainable culture of cycling requires more than infrastructure – policy, awareness, good design, and responsive operations all work together to form the backbone of a successful cycling programme. 

Join Ramboll Smart Mobility in this webinar, as we discuss:

  • The concept of normalising cycling
  • Cycling best practices
  • Typical challenges
  • Success stories during COVID-19 
  • How cycling can be embraced in existing geographies, and newly adopted in other geographies 

Who is this webinar for? Jurisdictions in Asia Pacific keen on developing cycling programmes, shifting attitudes, and building pro-cycling infrastructure.

The panellists for the webinar include experts from around the globe, including some of the more developed cycling programmes within Europe. They are listed below.
