WHY WE MUST SHAPE CITIES FOR CYCLING

Around 75% of the European energy consumption takes places in cities;

Around 80% of the GHG are emitted by cities;

The transport sector is the only main European economic sector for which GHG emissions have increased since 1990: over the last 15 years, transport emissions increased by 19.4% (EEA, 2015).

Urban transition processes for sustainable urban mobility start with the recognition of the need for change from current patterns to disrupt continuing trends.

The challenge is then to start transforming both the mindset of actors and the operative planning toolset for cities to reach common sustainability goals. http://clipart.me/premium-technology/glowing-network-sign-vector-illustration-570251
