A new city-ranking list has named Brisbane as the best city in Australia but overall mobility in major centres is mediocre.
A new webinar on growing bike-friendly cities

Riding a bike is one of the most sustainable ways to move around. So how can we transform our cities so that riding a bike is safe, accessible and convenient?

This forms the basis of Cycling In Sustainable Cities, a new book edited by top researchers John Pucher and Ralph Buehler. And this week, with the support of Austroads, the authors presented a special webinar for Australians.

In the webinar, the authors walk us through bike activity across the globe, carefully picking apart where it is growing and why.

The webinar showcases innovative designs, programs and policies across cities where bike riding is soaring, offering many valuable lessons for getting more Australians pedalling.

If you have a thirst for urban planning and juicy data, or if you are simply looking for some inspiration, this is the webinar you need to see.
