World Resources Institute   /     Big Ideas Into Action #51: Cycling and the Sustainable City

Description

Many governments and authorities started to build cycling infrastructure during the Covid-19 lockdowns, but were these developments temporary or the foundation of a permanent shift towards truly cyclable cities? In this WRI Big Ideas Into Action podcast we hear that many of those cities are starting to make things permanent, and - of course - why helping to get more people out of cars and onto bicycles is a good thing for them, for the cities, and for the environment as well. In this podcast we hear from Jill Warren of the European Cyclist’s Federation in Brussels, Carlota Pederson Madero, who is the advisor to the subsecretary on mobility planning for Buenos Aires, WRI's Health and Road Safety director Claudia Ariazola-Steil, and from WRI Europe Santiago Londono in The Hague and Sophie Mongalvy in Paris. The podcast was produced and presented by Nicholas Walton.
