I don't know if I'll be able to get there until the time when I'd have to leave to get there in time, so I might not have time to buy one electronically before leaving. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18925#post-285435 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 09:38:28 +0000 PS 285435@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All the best to Morten.

The TEC councilors would be a good starting point too, but I guess any Councillor should find it informative. Sorry, not very helpful, I know. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18925#post-285187 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 12:31:43 +0000 Frenchy 285187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Obvious councillors would be those on the TEC: <a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/939656/transport_and_environment_committee" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/939656/transport_and_environment_committee</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18925#post-285185 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 12:23:48 +0000 Kim 285185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Ps which Councillors and various Council officials have you in mind?

I always thought it would have been a good idea if a load of council bods had been "encouraged" to attend Mikael Colville-Andersen's talk in that first Edfoc. Would be good if Morten were to preach to the unconverted (or at least people who might benefit from some extra encouragement...). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18925#post-285123 Mon, 18 Jun 2018 15:02:37 +0000 Kim 285123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Who's going to see <a href="https://edfoc.org.uk/events/copenhagenize-scotland/">Copenhagenize Scotland</a>?</p> <p>Morten Kabell will speak on transport in modern cities and show how the bicycle should be and can be a major part of urban mobility in the future. Copenhagen today has a higher number of bicycles than cars crossing the city centre, and more than 60% of Copenhageners commute by bicycle on a daily basis; only 9% drive a car.</p> <p>Focusing on the bicycle brings with it a focus on the human scale and a possibility for a life-sized city. Space for people meeting each other and having a daily life is key to the development of a green, liveable city. Morten shows that the Copenhagen is not special to the city. Any city can do what Copenhagen has done, and it is cheaper for the city as well as making for a healthier population.</p> <p>In January 2018, Morten Kabell, started working as Chief Operating Officer for the <a href="https://copenhagenize.eu/">Copenhagenize Design Co</a>. Before that, he was Mayor of Technical and Environmental Affairs in the City of Copenhagen from 2014 to 2017 and has been a member of Copenhagen City Council since 1998 focusing on urban planning, transport, urban design and finances. He has been a strong advocate for bicycles and modern mobility throughout his political career. </p>
