Are you a Rider on the Storm? Have you been caught up in Car Wars or faced a backlash on traffic reduction measures? I completely forgot to share this before! On a warm day last July, we wrapped up the Car Free Cities campaign with a hybrid event to share our learnings on how to deliver successful urban traffic reduction, bringing together local authorities, campaigners, residents and academics. A few highlights: Car Wars: Delivering Change Against a Backdrop of Misinformation’ focused on our new report Sound and Fury, which analysed the impact of London councillors’ positions on LTNs on the outcome of the 2022 local elections. We also heard from misinformation expert Stefan Rollnick and councillor Charlie Hicks who both highlighted the importance of procedural fairness and outcome fairness, and the difference between polled public opinion and perceived public opinion. We then had an interactive breakout session on Parklets and Parking, titled ‘Reclaiming the Streets’, with people doing pioneering work in reclaiming kerbside space for sustainable uses sharing their learnings and insights in small groups. For our afternoon session, Cities of the Future, we heard from different speakers on how to ensure that the shift away from car dependency increases equity and access for all our communities. You can watch the event sessions, read the transcript, and download the presentations at the link below. Huge thanks to our fantastic speakers Clyde Loakes Rachel Aldred Harrie Larrington-Spencer Charlie Hicks Sylvia Barrett Rezina Chowdhury CMRS Toby Spearpoint Hirra K. Leo Murray Tiffany Lam Stefan Rollnick Benjamin Coleman Feedback from attendees - "Thanks so much for the wide range of speakers, perspectives and topics, with very useful examples of work and approaches I hadn't heard about before. A really encouraging and educational event." Alper Muduroglu of Peddle My Wheels/OurBike: "Thanks so much for organising the Riders on the Storm event yesterday. It was a really good day, very interesting, with some great people there and it was really nice to listen and discuss ideas with some of them. I love the work that you and Possible have done on Car Free Cities. It has been really inspirational and has informed some of the ideas behind our projects. You have definitely planted some seeds that will become something special!" #carfreecities #climateaction #activetravel #ridersonthestorm #carwars #misinformation #parklets #sustainablecities #trafficreduction #reclaimthestreets https://lnkd.in/ecxY2sgM

On December 18, join us for an evening in Amsterdam where we talk about Speed and Safety in cities. Register here: https://lnkd.in/e44PQ6Xe Vehicle speeds, whether cars, trucks, or e-bikes, profoundly affect our experience of cities. What feels too fast or too slow often depends on the place we occupy in traffic: a pedestrian may feel endangered by a motorist’s speed, while the motorist simply wants to reach their destination. Traditionally, fixed speed limits have been the solution, but these don’t account for the dynamic nature of urban spaces, nor the emergence of new vehicle types. Unsafe streets push people into safer vehicles, but in doing so, we risk neglecting making safer streets. To create safer, more livable streets, we need to rethink our approach to speed regulation, considering the evolving complexity of urban life. This event marks the start of our journey towards the Speed Summit in 2025. The conversation opens with Carl Honoré, Luca Bertolini, Marjolein de Lange, and Onno Kramer exploring what should come first for liveable cities: safe streets or safe vehicles. Event Details: Wednesday, 18th December 2024 At 20:00 hours. Grote Zaal, Pakhuis de Zwijger, Piet Heinkade 179, 1019 HC Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Free Admission. Registration via https://lnkd.in/e44PQ6Xe

Bogotá, Colombia, offers a compelling model for cities in the global North with its weekly #Ciclovía program. Every Sunday, from 7:00 to 14:00, over 100 kilometers of streets are closed to motor vehicles, creating a #CarFree environment for cyclists, pedestrians, and outdoor enthusiasts. This initiative, which attracts over 1.7 million participants weekly, demonstrates significant benefits that cities in #Germany could replicate. 🌱 Reduced air pollution and noise levels improve overall #AirQuality and urban living conditions 💪 Promotes physical activity, contributing to better #PublicHealth and reducing healthcare costs. 🤝 Encourages community interaction across different socioeconomic groups, fostering unity and mutual #respect 🚴♀️ Enhances respect for cyclists and pedestrians, leading to safer and more considerate #RoadSharing practices For German cities like #Berlin, #Munich, or #Hamburg, adopting a similar approach could address urban challenges such as traffic congestion, pollution, and social isolation. By prioritizing #PeopleOverCars, these cities can create healthier, more connected communities and promote #sustainable urban living.

Interesting map to get you thinking about our car dependent infrastructure and how some basic community essential features are usually so close but seemingly far away given a lack of ped/bike connectivity. https://lnkd.in/e34ntnug

Just over a week to go till I'm on stage in Amsterdam wrestling with big questions like: 1. What does a safe, liveable street look like? 2. How should we integrate faster bikes into urban transport? 3. Is there a right speed for moving through a city? Can't wait! #urbanism #slowurbanism #urbantransport #safecities #slowcities #slowcity #cittaslow #slowmovement
