I’m at a #vc22 conference on a topic close to my heart: reallocation of public space. It’s an all-star panel, with representatives from Copenhagen and Groningen and other cool cities.
Ok these graphics are a bit over-stylized but it’s surprising that most trips in Copenhagen are still by car and cars still dominate public space.
Groningen has a bike mode share of 66%, which is truly remarkable. Spurred by their traffic circulation plan.
Even Groningen is not sitting on its laurels, developing their Sustainable Mobility Plan. They have 14 street typologies.
Guy from Helsinki referring to the climate in Copenhagen as “tropical.”
Guy from Ljubljana says that, since pedestrianizing their city center, they have gone from a car-driving city to a coffee drinking city.
Now hearing from Pontevedra, Spain. This panel is just a parade of Europe’s smartest cities.
