• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Provides a critical examination of existing cycling structures alongside current policies and practices used to promote cycling in Europe. Considering the cultural politics of infrastructure, urban space wars and questions of safety and risk, it provides policy solutions for sustainable cities. Contributors show infrastructural provision to be an intensely political act and its meaning variable according to larger political processes and contexts.
