Over recent decades, bicycling has received renewed interest as a
means of improving transportation through crowded cities, improving
personal health, and reducing environmental impacts associated with
travel. Much of the discussion surrounding cycling has focused on
bicycle facility design-how to best repurpose road infrastructure
to accommodate bicycling. While part of the discussion has touched
on culture, such as how to make bicycling a larger part of daily
life, city design and planning have been sorely missing from
consideration. Whilst interdisciplinary in its scope, this book
takes a primarily planning approach to examining active
transportation, and especially bicycling, in urban areas. The
volume examines the land use aspects of the city-not just the
streetscape. Illustrated using a range of case studies from the
USA, Canada, and Australia, the volume provides a comprehensive
overview of key topics of concern around cycling in the city
including: imagining the future of bicycle-friendly cities;
integrating bicycling into urban planning and design; the effects
of bike use on health and environment; policies for developing
bicycle infrastructure and programs; best practices in bicycle
facility design and implementation; advances in technology, and
economic contributions.
