Seminar One in this year’s Seminar Series looked at the theme of cycling and walking as we often hear residents complaining that the infrastructure for cycling just isn’t good enough and cyclists feel unsafe on the roads. Pedestrians want to see that walking has a higher priority than cars and that this is reflected in the design of our streets. We brought our guest speaker from Copenhagen – the best city in the world for cycling and walking.
Our main speaker was:
Klaus Bondham CEO of Danish Cyclists’ Federation and former Mayor of Technical and Environmental Affairs in The City of Copenhagen. Personal website
Our Liverpool City Region speaker was:
Cllr Nathalie Nicholas (Liverpool), Deputy Portfolio Holder Transport & Air Quality.
