[Pyoraily-lista] Kaupunkipyöräilyn huippusuunnittelijoiden kamppailu

[Hirvonen Matti]

Terve!
"Uudessa 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.

THE NEW AMSTERDAM BIKE SLAM<http://www.newamsterdambikeslam.org/>

Dutch and American designers face off in a battle for the future of urban cycling in NYC

For four days, the best minds in transportation 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.

GLOBAL TRENDS IN SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY<http://www.newamsterdambikeslam.org/>

New York and Amsterdam, like many other global cities, face challenges regarding mobility and requiring immediate solutions. An urgent look at necessary changes in mobility is the objective of the symposium  'Global trends in sustainable mobility.' For that purpose we have invited speakers to debate ideas that would further our thinking about cities and mobility.

How did Amsterdam and New York get to where we are now with regard to mobility and what analyses can we bring to the table? What are the systematic differences in urban planning between New York and Amsterdam? Do these differences only exist in the field of 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?

This issues will be discussed in the program: Global Trends to Sustainable Mobility
