Part 3/9:
Pioneering Sustainable Transportation: Cycling as a City Pillar
One of Copenhagen’s most remarkable achievements is its investment in bike infrastructure. The city’s streets are designed to prioritize cycling, with over 62% of residents choosing bikes for daily transportation. This focus has resulted in more than five times as many bikes as cars, significantly reducing emissions from transportation. The city has poured nearly $300 million into upgrading cycling routes over the past decade, making cycling not just a sustainable choice but the default mode of travel for most citizens.
