19 Sustainable City A good Public Realm is a crucial factor for good Public Transportation

20 Healthy City Houston -the City with the fattest people of the World

21 Suggestion for simple City improvement Policy In this City everything will be done to invite people to walk and bicycle as much as possible in the course of their daily day doings (Keyword is indeed inviting)

22 Copenhagen From traffic place to People Place 50 Years Anniversary

23 Strøget (main street) pedestrianized

24 In 1962 all 18 squares were parking lots - now they are all people squares

25 A gradual reduction of Parking in the City Center 2-3% pr. year

26 Public Space-Public Life Surweys: Copenhagen 1968, 1985, 1995 (+2005)

27 Many more People are walking in the city

28 We do not have to think and act as 1960s traffic engineers for ever - times are changing and traffic engineers are by now much smarter Copenhagen Street: 2 Sidewalks, 2 proper bicycle lanes, street trees, 2 lanes for 2 way traffic, and a substan- tial median to facilitate crossing the street

29

30 Priority for pedestrians and bicyclists Sidewalks and bicycle tracks across side streets

31 City of Copenhagen New Strategy 2009 Best City in the World for People

32 Bicycling in Copenhagen -on a citywide network of bicycle lanes

33 -an efficient, citywide transportation system

34 Bicycles are taken straight through the street crossings and the lanes are marked with blue Bicycle signals turns green six seconds before the car signals

35 Regulations: All Taxis must provide racks for 2 bicycles

36 Trains & Metro welcoming bicycles

37 A bicycle culture have step by step been developed Everybody bikes

38 Cello- and bass players cycle

39 -All Age Groups bicycle from Age 92 Mother in law:age 85

40 The Danish Crown Prince is doing it too Two guys on the road towards the throne Princes Frederik and Christian on their way to the day care

41 Going to work in the City of Copenhagen 37% use bicycle 27% drive car 33% use public transit 5% walk

42 70% continue to bike in the winter

43 Major complaint : Serious congestions -on the bicycle lanes
