Abstract

How do you plan for both the transport mode and urban development in an integrated fashion? How do you assess the effectiveness of infrastructure investment from an accessibility perspective, and who should do what to ensure implementation? In seeking to answer such questions, this book argues that a focus on accessibility is key to the successful integration of urban planning and transport planning, as both seek to provide citizens with access to opportunities. With an underlying principle of achieving sustainable development, urban planners, politicians and community advocates are now demanding a new approach to planning urban areas and transport networks which provides for accessibility, rather than simply assuming mobility, especially by private car. This book shows how, and why, we can successfully plan for sustainable accessibility through urban development planning and transport planning practices. Employing a multi-dimensional perspective, sustainable accessibility is considered through the lens of different residents and their daily needs. Through the lens of a `mobility pyramid', starting from not travelling, through walking, cycling and public transport to private car, it examines three different spatial scales: Metropolitan, Town Centres, and Neighbourhoods. There is a strong focus on their qualities of `place'; and on governance, considering who should take action, and how processes of implementation influence the effectiveness of design approaches. This innovative multi-dimensional perspective re-frames the traditional approaches and offers the reader an appreciation of the bigger picture of what is needed to plan for sustainable accessibility, while at the same time gaining knowledge of specific details that are necessary for its implementation.

Abstract

The book illustrates urban and architectural bicycle traffic projects which go far beyond purely redesigning road layouts; its eight essays focus on the trend in urban design, landscape design, and traffic planning, it introduces nine exemplary concepts in various cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, Münster, New York, and Paris amongst others), and presents 28 forward-looking individual bicycle infrastructure projects.

Abstract

Climate change and increasing resource scarcity together with rising traffic volumes force us to develop new environmentally friendly and people-oriented mobility options. In order to provide a positive mobility experience, the transition from one mobility mode to another must be managed smoothly and safely, and individual, shared or public means of transportation must become convenient and easy. Conceptual as well as existing infrastructure projects provide models for future sustainable and connected mobility. This volume focuses on the importance of design, introducing through photos, plans, and brief texts over 60 groundbreaking projects from the disciplines of product design, architecture, and urban planning. With this international overview Mobility Design portrays the current situation of sustainable mobility systems, while identifying mobility as one of the most important design tasks of the future. With project texts by Markus Hieke, Christian Holl, and Martina Metzner Klimawandel und Ressourcenverknappung, aber auch der stetig steigende Verkehrsaufwand machen es unabdingbar, neue Lösungen für eine umweltschonende und menschenfreundliche Mobilität zu entwickeln. Der flüssige und sichere Übergang von einer Mobilitätsform zur anderen, die Nutzung unterschiedlicher individueller, geteilter oder öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel auf einem Weg, muss künftig komfortabel und einfach möglich sein, um Menschen ein positives Mobilitätserlebnis zu vermitteln. Bereits heute gibt es Konzepte und realisierte Infrastrukturprojekte, die in beispielhafter Weise die Zukunft einer nachhaltigen und vernetzten Mobilit.t greifbar machen. Im Fokus dieses Bands steht die Bedeutung der Gestaltung: Über 60 wegweisende Projekte aus den Bereichen Design, Architektur und Städtebau werden anhand von Fotos, Planzeichnungen und Kurztexten vorgestellt. Mit diesem internationalen Überblick zeigt Mobility Design nicht nur den aktuellen Stand nachhaltiger Mobilitätssysteme auf, sondern widmet sich der Mobilität als einer der wichtigsten Gestaltungsaufgaben der Zukunft. Mit Projekttexten von Markus Hieke, Christian Holl und Martina Metzner

Abstract

Hoe de fiets de stad kan redden? Van New York tot Singapore en van Parijs tot São Paolo: in alle grote steden van de wereld nemen fietsers de straat in bezit naar het voorbeeld van Amsterdam en Kopenhagen. Van fietskoeriers met doodsverachting tot modebewuste jongeren op hippe karretjes of gewoon forenzen op weg naar hun werk: fietsen is meer dan alleen een alternatieve vervoersmogelijkheid. Het is praktisch, het is groen, het is cool. Cycle Space is het eerste boek dat de internationale fietsbeweging verbindt met misschien wel de grootste ontwerpuitdaging van de 21ste eeuw: het realiseren van een duurzame stad. Dit boek analyseert stedelijke fietsculturen en laat zien hoe deze tot succesvolle ontwerpstrategieën kunnen worden omgezet. Hoogleraar architectuur en fietsfanaat Steven Fleming laat zien dat we moeten begrijpen waarom mensen voor de fiets kiezen, om te zien hoe de fiets kan bijdragen aan het terugdringen van luchtverontreiniging, reistijden, gezondheidsrisico’s en het opslokken van steeds meer land door de stad. Met fietsportretten van acht grote steden toont Cycle Space hoe de fietser de stad kan redden. How the bicycle can save the cit? From New York to Singapore, from Copenhagen to Sydney, from Chicago to Amsterdam, and from São Paolo to Budapest, there is a groundswell of cyclists taking to the streets of major cities. Whether death-defying bike messengers, hipsters with a taste for cycle chic, or commuters simply cycling to work, cycling is viewed as more than just an alternative. It’s practical. It’s cool. It’s green. With portraits of major cities and their cycling cultures, Cycle Space is the first book to view the city through the lens of the bicycle, and offer a new ways of designing better cities. Cycle space is where architecture and urban design can begin to optimise conditions for cycling, and take inspiration from the aesthetics and ethics of cycling as well. It is where cities can begin reducing emissions, commute times, ill-health and sprawl. In Cycle Space, architecture professor and cycling nut Steven Fleming argues that understanding why people are choosing bikes is key for discovering the full potential of the bicycle as a transformative force in the design of our cities.

Abstract

Dutch architect and urban designer Winy Maas posed a provocative question to a workshop for young architects: Could they redesign the cities of Rotterdam and New York so that everything could be reached within five minutes? This book looks at the responses to such a challenging brief, and the answers will surprise anyone who has considered the form of the modern city.
