Product Description
Creating an effective policy for cycling is an essential part of developing a sustainable transport strategy and is becoming an increasingly important part of urban planning. Successful cycling planning depends on combining improvements to infrastructure with education about the benefits of increasing cycle usage. Drawing on a wealth of international examples, with a wide range of contributions from America, Australia, and Europe, Planning for Cycling sums up many of the lessons learned and shows how they can be applied in improving urban planning. The book examines national strategies and local initiatives in cities around the world. It includes topics such as the creation of 'homezones', changes to existing road and rail infrastructure, and the integration of cycling with public transport. The author highlights education as a critical element in cycling planning and covers the promotion of bicycling and developing healthy travel habits in the young. He looks at the complex relationship between cars and cycling and discusses how roads can be successfully shared between these two modes of transport. With its blend of practical experience and suggestions for effective implementation, Planning for Cycling is essential reading for urban planners, architects, local and national planning officers, environmental groups and students of environmental sciences.
