As cities around the world face growing traffic congestion, rising emissions, and strained transport budgets, the case for investing in cycling and walking infrastructure has never been more apparent or more urgent. Urban mobility is at a turning point. Car ownership is on the rise, but it comes at a steep cost—financial, environmental, and social. Unless this trend is reversed, global transport emissions are projected to rise by 33% by 2050. Meanwhile, systems based on walking, cycling, and transit are 50% more affordable than car-centric ones—and healthier and more inclusive, too.
