Copenhagen has several times been ranked as the world’s best city for cycling, and deservedly so, as 26 % of all trips in the city is by bicycle and the city has an extremely well-developed bicycle infrastructure.

But cycling is not just an important mode of transportation in the largest cities - this session will focus on cycling on both a city, regional and national level.

You’ll learn about Cycle Superhighways in Denmark, strategies for green mobility and the 10-minute city in Lillehammer, Norway, bicycle streets across Europa and mobility planning through cycling data in Denmark.

Christian Grunert Rantorp from The Danish Road Directorate will moderate this session.

Speakers in this session:  

Jonas Wamsler, Specialist Consultant at The Danish Road Directorate

Anna Dinesen, Academic Specialist at Danish Centre for Cycling Knowledge at The Danish Road Directorate

Gunhild Stugaard, Head of the Planning Department and Lieneke Bekkema, Planning Advisor and Project Leader at City of Lillehammer, Norway

Signe Møller Strandvig, Head of Office, Cycle Superhighways in Central Region Denmark

You can either book hotels on your own or when registering for the conference. We suggest that you do this well in advance.

Hotel rooms have been pre-booked at special conference rates for the participants at the venue hotel and in two other hotels in the vicinity of the venue. We encourage you to book the hotel when you make your registration online so you will not risk that your preferred hotel is fully booked.

If for some reason it is more convenient for you to book the hotel room after having registered for the conference it is still possible to book and achieve the favourable conference rate, as long as rooms are available.
