With 29 percent of all trips made by bicycle, Copenhagen is
considered a model of green transport. This book considers the
underlying political conditions that enabled cycling to appeal to
such a wide range of citizens in Copenhagen and asks how this can
be replicated elsewhere. Despite Copenhagen's global reputation,
its success has been a result of a long political struggle and is
far from completely secure. Car use in Denmark is increasing,
including in Copenhagen's suburbs, and new developments in
Copenhagen include more parking for cars. There is a political
tension in Copenhagen over the spaces for cycling, the car, and
public transit. In considering examples of backlashes and conflicts
over street space in Copenhagen, this book argues that the kinds of
debates happening in Copenhagen are very similar to the debates
regularly occurring in cities throughout the world. This makes
Copenhagen more, not less, comparable to many cities around the
world, including cities in the United States. This book will appeal
to upper-level undergraduates and graduates in urban geography,
city planning, transportation, environmental studies, as well as
transportation advocates, urban policy-makers, and anyone concerned
about climate change and looking to identify paths forward in their
own cities and localities.
