Planning the Cycling City
Our multi-disciplinary team of experts translate world-class cycling research into real-world mobility policy
Active mobility transitions are not merely engineering challenges – they are complex spatial, organizational, and political negotiations. When technical teams design infrastructure in isolation, projects frequently stall due to institutional friction or public resistance. We address the three critical bottlenecks of street transitions:
- Spatial Allocation Constraints: Navigating the high-stakes trade-offs of redistributing finite public space.
- Organizational Alignment: Overcoming internal administrative friction and equipping teams with multidisciplinary tools.
- Political & Social Viability: Mitigating implementation risks to secure political backing and public acceptance.
Why do sustainable mobility investments often fail to reduce traffic congestion?
Three Pathways to systemic Change
Three distinct starting points, each built for a different kind of city, a different partner, and a different stage of the work ahead.
01
Systematic Technical Assistance
Advisory for city governments, transport authorities, universities, and ministries
02
Executive Courses & Trainings
Built for public sector leaders, planners, and consultants. We also offer custom, ad-hoc team training to align internal administrative visions.
03
Applied Research and Insights
We bridge the gap between world-class mobility science and active public policy.
