The Politics of Cycling Infrastructure
Policy Press (Verlag)
978-1-4473-4515-2 (ISBN)
Provides a critical examination of existing cycling structures alongside current policies and practices used to promote cycling in Europe. Considering the cultural politics of infrastructure, urban space wars and questions of safety and risk, it provides policy solutions for sustainable cities. Contributors show infrastructural provision to be an intensely political act and its meaning variable according to larger political processes and contexts.
Till Koglin is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Technology and Society, Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Peter Cox is a Professor at the Department of Social and Political Science, University of Chester, UK
