City centre pavements are overcrowded at the moment - it's as bad/good as the festival. Looks like we need to build for that extra foot traffic on the basis that's it's going to be pretty much all year round now and not just a four week spell in August. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17269#post-239202 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 15:34:34 +0000 chdot 239202@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>EDINBURGH will need to build a host of modern new venues, reinvent historic ones and combine cutting-edge technology with culture to remain world-leading in future, according to figureheads of the city’s flagship events. </p> <p>Organisers believe digital tour guides, virtual reality experiences in public spaces, driverless cars, cinema-style auditoriums and “plug in
