| Abstract: |
Bicycle infrastructure creates environmental, social, and economic value in urban environments across cultures. Cities that invest in bicycle infrastructure reduce the number of cars on the road, save on infrastructure maintenance costs, and preserve greenspace within development plans. A bridge must not only solve specific traffic challenges but catalyse value creation and incentivize sustainable urban transport. Exploring the intersection of architecture and user experience across bicycle bridges in Copenhagen, Denmark and Xiamen, China - Dissing+Weitling demonstrates how cycling infrastructure is a powerful tool for cities to incentivize sustainable urban mobility. |
