‘Mi Barrio Activo Ciudad Kennedy’ es un proyecto desarrollado con el apoyo de la comunidad y con los recursos que recibió Bogotá en 2023, al ser elegida entre las ciudades ganadoras del Global Designing Cities Initiative. 

Este reconocimiento reafirmó e impulsó nuestro compromiso con la movilidad sostenible y el diseño de calles más seguras y accesibles, además del desarrollo de proyectos urbanísticos que priorizan al peatón y a los ciclistas, para que puedan movilizarse con mayor seguridad en la vía.

They aren’t just flower beds!!!

Fascinating peak beneath the surface of one of London’s new Cycleways - you can see the complex drainage system that ensures bike lanes help protect the capital from heavy rain & effects of climate change.

And they look great when finished💚🚲👍

[Global Designing Cities Initiative @GlobalStreets]

How we design our streets plays a critical role in how fast vehicles go, who can safely access the space and what modes of transport people choose.
