Description

Building the Cycling City: The Dutch Blueprint for Urban Vitality by Melissa Bruntlett and Chris Bruntlett offers a unique perspective on sustainable urban planning. In this insightful book, the authors share the success story of the Netherlands' cycling culture, where bikes outnumber people, and explore how North American cities are adopting similar approaches to address pressing issues like congestion, climate change, and social isolation. Through engaging interviews with local experts and personal anecdotes from their own experiences in five Dutch cities, the Bruntletts reveal the triumphs and challenges of creating a cycling-friendly environment. They also highlight inspiring examples of cities that have incorporated lessons from the Netherlands into their own urban planning, such as Atlanta's transit-bike connection and Seattle's bike-riding initiatives. By examining the Dutch approach to urban mobility, Building the Cycling City provides valuable insights for anyone interested in creating more livable, sustainable communities.
