Bicycles, technology, gender: the paradox of cycling infrastructure growth in Helsinki

Activity: Talk or presentation types › Conference presentation

Description

This study about urban cycling infrastructure development in Helsinki focuses on a pioneering "cycling superhighway" inaugurated in 2017 and slated for expansion in 2024. It combines data analysis with concepts from gendered mobility and ecological economics to show that infrastructure growth and technological development pose both promising and concerning outcomes for urban mobility’s social inequity and material-energetic unsustainability.
