Around the globe, cities are constructing bicycle infrastructure. The city of Copenhagen has a bicycle-friendly infrastructure celebrated for its fine-meshed network. This study documents the spatio-temporal development of Copenhagen’s bicycle infrastructure and explores how the development corresponds to other processes of urban transformation. </p> <p>...</p> <p>By discussing reasons and demands for constructing bicycle infrastructure, the study identifies four distinct periods in which bicycle infrastructure was constructed to enhance comfort and safety (first cycling city); the flow for cars (car city); urban liveability for soft transport (liveable city); and, finally, to improve the flow for cyclists as part a strategic re-design of urban space (liveable cycling city).</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00167223.2015.1034151#.VcUXiPmqqko" rel="nofollow">http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00167223.2015.1034151#.VcUXiPmqqko</a> </p>
