Fahrradstadt (bicycle city concept)
Fahrradstadt, or the bicycle city concept, refers to urban planning that prioritizes bicycles as a primary mode of transportation. It emphasizes extensive, safe, and efficient cycling infrastructure such as dedicated bike lanes, parking, and other facilities, encouraging residents to choose bikes over cars. This approach aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, improve public health, and create more livable, environmentally sustainable cities. By integrating cycling into daily life, Fahrradstadt promotes a shift toward healthier, more accessible urban environments where bicycles are a convenient, safe, and integral part of city transportation.
