About the webinar
Transportation planning in Latin America and the Caribbean has traditionally focused on improving mobility by motorized means, whether public or private, without giving a similar level of consideration to the development of adequate space for pedestrians and cyclists. However, in the quest for low-emission development, incorporating strategies to increase cycling and walkability is proving to be a practical and affordable way to reduce CO2 emissions while improving the quality of life of city dwellers.
This webinar discussed the concept of "non-motorized mobility" as well as the challenges and opportunities for its promotion in Latin America and the Caribbean. The experience of Mexico City in the implementation of public bicycle systems was presented.
The webinar was conducted in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected]
