Spacing<\/em> publisher Matt Blackett talked to copenhagenize.com<\/a>‘s Colville Andersen while visiting Copenhagen last week. Matt talks about the Danish capital’s bike culture and modern architecture.<\/p>\n

<\/embed>Meanwhile, on March 7 myself (representing pedestrians), Spacing<\/em> transit columnist Steve Munro, and Spacing<\/em> photographer Yvonne Bambrick (representing cyclists) participated in a panel discussion about how to share the road on TVO’s The Agenda<\/em>. The other guests were Jeff Casello, an assistant professor in the School of Planning<\/a> and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and the lone car spokesperson, David Booth, a columnist and senior writer for the weekly Driving section<\/a> at the National Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The most interesting point that came out of the discussion for me was Jeff Casello’s comment that transit and walking both get better the more people do it — when more people take transit, it becomes more viable and service can become more frequent, while when more people walk, walking feels safer and therefore more people want to walk. They are positive feedback loops. (A recent study in England<\/a> shows that the same is true of cycling.)\u00a0 With cars, on the other hand, the more people drive, the more congestion you get and the less effective and attractive driving is.<\/p>\n

You can also download the video of the discussion from The Agenda’s<\/em> website<\/a> (click on the “Sharing the Road” tab – but the interview with Fred Hansen describing Portland’s transportation programs is also well worth watching).<\/p>\n

As well, I wrote a guest blog<\/a> on The Agenda<\/em> blog about the importance of walking in transportation policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
