Cycling in Denmark has fallen by 30% since 1990. The numbers for Copenhagen, however, head in the opposite direction. The number of 80,000 kilometres cycled has risen by around 30% since 1998 and the bicycle’s modal share for trips to work or educational institutions has risen to over a third in the same period. This makes the bicycle the most popular transport form for 40,000 commuting in Copenhagen.

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

  • Ringbanen – En Ny, Tværgående Bybane
    Ringbanen – en ny, tværgående bybane Ringbanen EN BANE PÅ TVÆRS MED NYE FORBINDELSER Ringbanen bliver en ny, tværgående linie på det storkøben- havnske S-banenet. Hér får passagererne mulighed for hurtigt og bekvemt at skifte til de andre S-togslinier, og der bliver gode omstigningsmuligheder til busser, regionaltog på Hellerup Station (Kystbanen) og Ny Ellebjerg Station (Øresundsbanen) samt Metroen på Flintholm Station. Ringbanen er på ca. 11,5 km. Den består dels af den hidtidige Ydre Bybane mellem Hellerup og Grøndal og dels af en nyan- lagt bane. Fra Hellerup til Grøndal Station har Banestyrelsen udskiftet den eksisterende bane totalt med nyt underlag, Mod Farum Mod Hillerød Mod Klampenborg Mod Helsingør Eksisterende Ringbane Ringbane under bygning Hellerup Mod Frederikssund Ryparken Bispebjerg Nørrebro Fuglebakken C.

HENRIKSEN Architect, CEO Partner Architect, Director bridges Industrial Designer, Partner DISSING+WEITLING DISSING+WEITLING DISSING+WEITLING Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 1. Copenhagen In 2011 the City of Copenhagen published its planning strategy for becoming the world’s best bicycle town in 2015. And this for all sort of good reasons – promoting a healthier life style cycling to work, setting the goal for Copenhagen as a CO2 neutral city by 2025, and simply – Copenhagen as a better place to live – more space, less noise, cleaner air. In 2010 with a 36% market share bicycles were the most used means of transportation to and from work in the city. The city’s strategy aims for 50% by the end of 2015. Copenhagen’s commitment to bicycles has prompted more safe bicycle routes necessitating the construction of bicycle and pedestrian bridges some of which have been designed by DISSING+WEITLING: Bryggebroen (Quay Bridge), Åbuen (The Creek Arch), Cykelslangen (The Bicycle Snake) and finally Folehaven (The Park Bridge) currently in the project stage. The City of Copenhagen has not only opted for safe bicycle routes but also for their contribution to the urban environment. Bryggebroen, Åbuen and Cykelslangen have had a huge success with up to 12 - 16.000 daily users on each bridge. But more than that they have greatly contributed to the urban environment. This so that the Bicycle Snake became one of three urban projects that won the City of Copenhagen the first prize in the European Public Space Award 2016.
