Project Summary

Before setting up an action plan for improving the cycling conditions of their territory, Bordeaux Métropole asked Copenhagenize to provide advice and inspiration based on the Danish bicycle urbanism model. After attending a keynote in Bordeaux and participating in a study trip to Copenhagen, the politicians unanimously voted for an ambitious Cycling Strategy for the next four years in order to make cycling a comfortable and competitive means of transportation in the Bordeaux metropolitan area. With another study trip, a special Master Class for their urban designers, as well as workshops and conferences on bicycle urbanism and communication, Copenhagenize diffused knowledge on high quality bicycle infrastructure and user-centered design at all levels of Bordeaux Métropole — from politicians to urban designers and communication officers.
