LÜLEBURGAZ BISIKLETE BINIYOR – cycling for a better city
Artgineering/ Novusens/ Sustainable Solutions, 2018
€59.995
In the project/designing research 'Lüleburgaz Bisiklete Biniyor', Sustainable Solutions (NL), Artgineering (BE) and Novusens (TR) are developing an integral bicycle master plan for the city of Lüleburgaz. This plan sees cycling as a catalyst for bottom-up transitions towards a more sustainable, inclusive and democratic urban society. The project starts from a holistic approach consisting of three elements: hardware, software and orgware. Instead of immediately investing in the physical infrastructure, the municipality first put a lot of effort into creating a positive view of cycling among residents (e.g. with '2017 Bicycle Year') and into setting up an international, external organisational structure. The plan aims to serve as an example for some 200 other medium-sized cities in Turkey.€59.995
In the follow-up phase, the team will conduct in-depth research and, together with the municipality, convert the results into a guide for bicycle-friendly, inclusive and urban development. Two workshops with informal dinners for stakeholders will be organised. Also, between these workshops, the stakeholders will be taken on a working visit to both Lüleburgaz and the Netherlands. To involve the residents, the team is working with the local 'Bicycle Academy', cycling associations, 'role model' cyclists and (creative) entrepreneurs. In addition, the local Art & Design Academy will design postcards and images for social media.
