Step-by-Step: Supporting Active Transportation

Cities designed for cyclists and pedestrians are cities designed for people. The majority of our population travels primarily by foot or bicycle. Yet, transport planning in the Kingston Metropolitan Region prioritises private cars at the expense of sidewalks, safe walking environments, and cycling infrastructure. Increasing the use of bicycles and making walking easier are some of the most affordable and effective ways for cities to reduce road fatalities and greenhouse gas emissions while boosting access to economic opportunities for its residents and creating a more people-friendly and prosperous city for all.

In this webinar, we explore how movements like Critical Mass Nairobi are staking their claim on crucial urban space and demanding that their cities invest in the foundation infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.
