Urban and transportation planners from around the world have long admired the Netherlands’ impressive cycling infrastructure and culture, and frequently visit the country to marvel at its bustling bike lanes, gigantic parking facilities, and traffic-calmed streets. But coming from more sprawling, car-dominated and car-dependent environments, it’s difficult to imagine replicating their amazing success, where the average resident now pedals over 1,000 kilometres per year. Discover the key principles that were developed by the Dutch over the past fifty years, draw out concrete lessons for global cities to follow their lead, and learn how some of these ideas are already being implemented in cities around the world, as they face converging crises forcing many of them to reevaluate how they allocate space on their curbs and streets.
