Quick guide to contents of this first New Mobility Advisory Brief:

This is the first of a cycle of six New Mobility Advisory Briefs for "The Greening of Transport in Paris" series which we have launched to show how one enterprising city is pioneering and combining some interesting approaches when it comes to translating the challenge of sustainable development and sustainable transport from theory into practice. Paris is certainly not the only city in the world that is reaching out to new city-transforming solutions -- but as you will see it certainly gives us a very good place to start.

This 130 page Policy Brief has been prepared to inform considering cities, public authorities and agencies first hand as to how best to go about planning and implementing a city bike system of their own. It opens with an overview of the broader process that the city of Paris and the teams behind the Greening of Paris agenda have engaged, and from there moves on to provide in-depth background on the history and process of city bike developments at the leading edge. From there it looks in depth at the new and very large Vélib' system in Paris as a leading example, and then in its final chapters reaches much further back to consider how such a transformative project can fit into the larger new mobility and sustainability framework of your city.
