Bilfri byer: Utopi eller vision?

Af: Lasse Repsholt

Tre webinarer fra KTF Transmission går i dybden med bilfri byer. Hvad siger forskningen? Kan nye teknologier og coronakrisen accelerere en udvikling mod bilfri byer? Er bilfri byer vision eller utopi?

Mange danske byer har gågader. Cykelstier og sågar supercykestier bliver udbredt flere steder i landet. Ensrettede veje og P-arealer placeret i udkanten af den indre by er heller ikke ukendte flere steder. Men egentlig bilfri byer eller bare bilfri zoner ser vi ikke – endnu. Er bilfri byer en brugbar og realistisk vision eller en håbløs utopi for verdensfjerne drømmere?

På tre webinarer kan du høre mere om erfaringer og visioner fra bilfri byer;

Future mobility and its impact on our cities (Torsdag den 21. Januar 2021 kl. 12.00)

The idea of a city without cars is taking form. According to Ph.D Robert Martin technological innovations (autonomous vehicles, sharing economy and digital platforms etc.), environmental awareness, political and public willingness are at a critical point that will change the way we use and build our future cities.

In this webinar, Robert will present JAJA Architects’ vision for a “car-free” Copenhagen and describe how this vision influences the studio’s other mobility projects through a methodology that combines “backcasting” and “prototyping”.

Policies for reducing car traffic (Mandag den 21. Januar 2021 kl. 12.00)

This webinar is based on research from England, Netherlands, Germany and Sweden.  Would you like the answers to some of these questions?

- Can - and will - the cities reduce car traffic?

- What is more important in the transport policies of cities? (Accessibility? Economic growth? Liveability? Noise and local air polution? Road safety? Climate? Social inclusion?)

- ...and what is often forgotten? Are we doing enough (sufficiently) to meet our goals? Is there coherence between the policies for the cities and the policies for the suburbs and at the regional level? And how about the transportation of goods?

And finally up to discussion. Is all of the above relevant in a Danish context?

Creating the "Low-Car" City

‘Autoluw’ is a Dutch urban planning concept meaning ‘low-car’ or ‘nearly car-free’. It is applied in dozens of municipalities across the country, from the village of Houten to the seat of government in The Hague; where walking, cycling, and public transport are the dominant modes. Now, in the face of a global pandemic, cities around the world are realizing to become more comfortable, social, and resilient places, private automobiles must play a background role. But what lessons can they learn from the Netherlands, who—after a similar crisis in the 1970s—decided to take their cities in an entirely different direction? What concrete steps can cities take to ensure this current moment evolves into a lasting movement, where cars are treated as guests, rather than guests of honour?
