Abstract

Bicycles as a means of transport in cities are playing an ever more important role. The reasons are: reduction of motorcar traffic, sustainable traffic planning, reduction of noise and exhaust emissions, enhancement of the value of public space, healthier form of transport, savings potential in national health services and infrastructure expenditure. The book illustrates urban design ideas and architectural 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 bicycle traffic concepts in various cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, New York, and Oslo amongst others), and presents 28 forward-looking individual bicycle infrastructure projects. Der Radverkehr nimmt weltweit eine immer bedeutendere Rolle in der Stadt ein. Gründe hierfür sind: Entlastung des automobilen Straßenverkehrs, nachhaltige Verkehrsplanung, Reduzierung von Lärm- und Abgasemission, Aufwertung des öffentlichen Raumes, individuelle Gesundheitsvorsorge sowie volkswirtschaftliche Einsparpotentiale bei Gesundheits- und Infrastrukturkosten. Das Buch zeigt urbanistische Ideen und architektonische Projekte auf, die weit über einen reinen Umbau des Verkehrs hinausgehen: Es geht in acht Essays städtebaulichen, landschafts- und verkehrsplanerischen Aspekten dieses Trends nach, stellt neun vorbildliche Radverkehrskonzepte verschiedener Städte vor (u.a. Barcelona, Kopenhagen, Münster, New York, Paris) und präsentiert 28 wegweisende Rad-Infrastruktur-Einzelprojekte.
