CYCLING TOWNS OF THE FUTURE
CONFERENCE, 21ST NOVEMBER 2007
Cycling England recently hosted the 'Cycling Towns of the Future' conference with each of the existing Cycling Demonstration Towns to celebrate their achievements and share best practice.
The event attracted delegates from a wide range of local authorities, and showcased how simple, and often inexpensive schemes can boost cycling, and help authorities meet congestion, pollution and public health targets.
Each Cycling Demonstration Town ran a workshop based on the lessons they have learned through their cycling initiatives. The presentations given in these workshops can be downloaded below.
- The people behind the pennies - Exeter
- Every young person - Derby
- Integrating high quality cycling infrastructure - Brighton & Hove
- Building a network to increase levels of cycling - Darlington
- Identifying and overcoming barriers to cycling - Lancaster with Morecambe
- Promotion, promotion, promotion - Aylesbury
Photographs from the conference can be found in the gallery.
COULD YOUR AUTHORITY BE A CYCLING TOWN OR CITY IN THE FUTURE?
Cycling England has submitted its proposed funding strategy for the next four years to 2012 to the Department for Transport. The proposals, called Bike for the Future II, included a significant allocation for cycling towns and cities of the future. Cycling England is looking to the future and at a potential new round of cycling towns and cities.
