Presentation by Niels Tørsløv, Traffic Director of Copenhagen. Only in Copenhagen would the Traffic Director be educated as a landscape architect. Of course, in Copenhagen, "traffic" means bicycles as much as automobiles. Niels Tørsløv shows how they plan and build for children in order to encourage an active city, and how their transport policy focuses on cycling, climate change, health and urban liveability. Reservations required.
