Amsterdamissa" eli nykyisessä New Yorkissa aiotaan tosissaan saada
kaupunkipyöräily kunnon nosteeseen. Ensi viikolla hollantilaiset ja
amerikkalaiset huippusuunnittelijat kohtaavat kamppailussa tulevaisuuden
pyöräilyratkaisuista kaupunkiympäristössä. Tavoitteena löytää keinot
pyöräilymäärien nostamiseen peräti Hollannin tasolle. Samalla käsitellään
kestävän kaupunkiliikkumisen kokonaisuutta ja eri liikennemuotojen
vuorovaikutusta. Voittajaratkaisut julkistetaan 12.
syyskuuta. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

from New York City and Amsterdam will square off in the New Amsterdam BIKE SLAM.
The competition is hosted by New York's Transportation Alternatives and
Amsterdam's Vélo Mondial, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's
arrival on the land that would become New Amsterdam, and eventually New York
City. This conference cum competition explores the aesthetic of cycling and
issues of sustainable mobility. The result? A world-class transportation summit,
a dance party, a bridge across the Atlantic and - most importantly - a design
proposal for advancing cycling in New York City to the level of the Netherlands,
the only country with more bikes than people.</FONT></SPAN></P>

mobility or has it other psychological and cultural backgrounds? What makes
cities not only livable, but attractive to live in, and what good can mobility
bring or bad by making things disappear? Can cities live with less or no petrol
cars at all and what does such an idea do to the economy? How will public
transport play a role in the triangle with emission rich mobility and more
sustainable modes of transport? <O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>
