4 Introduction Active Modes Positive effect on cities health benefits citizens less congestion more sustainable more liveable Cities worldwide: want to improve their bicycling and walking shares Amsterdam,

5 Introduction Active Modes AM Measures not always successful Unknown: which steps/measures are most critical or effective how these steps depend on the context of each city Washington,

6 Research question How can various cities throughout the world design and plan an effective active mode network for their specific context, which stimulates the use of active modes, and most of all creates a liveable city? 6

NEW YORK CITY 31% 10% 58% 1% AMSTERDAM 11% 26% 33% 30% BOGOTA ; 19% ; 64% ; 15% ; 2% MELBOURNE 80% 4% 14% 2% etc What factors influence AM use? e.g. street density, land-use, public transport, climate, bike/walk-culture, safety, parks, buildings,.. 4. Can we categorize these cities? e.g. AM-maturity, link to Amsterdam AM history,.. 14

19 Approach Framework Planning and design guidelines Amsterdam,

20 Approach Amsterdam, 1954 More Cyclists & Pedestrians, more liveable cities 20

21 Social relevance Know the factors of influence on AM use, for different city-contexts. Tool for city planners and designers worldwide to increase the use of active modes, by improving their AM network step-by-step. More healthy citizens, less congestion, more liveable cities worldwide.
