Descrição

Habitat III is the 3rd conference of the United Nations for housing and sustainable urban development. The Habitat conferences take place every 20 years and the next one will be in Quito, Ecuador, October 17-20, 2016. In this event, representatives of UN member states and stakeholders will come together to discuss and finish the final version of a document called the “New Urban Agenda” which will contain a series of principles and guidelines to work towards more sustainable cities.
This document can have a real impact on how cities will be shaped from now on and cycling has a real potential in many ways to create more sustainable cities. European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) and World Cycling Alliance (WCA), together with its Brazilian member Bike Anjo, analyzed the Zero Draft of the New Urban Agenda (NUA) and reflected on where and how cycling is referred to, and what is still lacking in the vision of how cycling can contribute to sustainable urban development. In Annex 1 is a complete list of specific text changes and recommendations in the Zero Draft.
