  2. A compact, diverse and medium-sized city. • 240 580 inhabitants. • 276.81 km2. • 46 homes/ha (residential areas) • 101.51 inhabitants/ha (residential areas) • A city where everything is at hand, accessible on foot and by bicycle.

  5. Giving back the public space to citizen … Public space assigned to car Public space assigned to pedestrian

  6. Main figures after 5 years of SUMP We have succeeded in reversing the rising trend in private car use, raising the pedestrian share to 2002 levels and increasing the use of bicycle.

  7. An efficient and functional Main Bicycle Network

  8. Active mobility in the focus: A value to preserve. • 68% of cyclists are using, at least in part, pedestrian spaces. • 37% of citizens are planning to start using the bike for commuting. • 12% of pedestrians, 18% of drivers and 25% of public transport users has tested and plan to use the bike for commuting. We have a problem on the sidewalks!!!!

  9. The increase in the number of cyclists on sidewalks and pedestrian areas has led to conflicts with pedestrians, so we designed a traffic calming campaign in 47 streets of downtown with 3 objectives • Improving road safety for pedestrian and cyclists • Reduce emissions of pollutants • Reclaim the space for pedestrians The measure does not end here but will extend to the entire city.

  10. Reorient cycling mobility towards non-conflicting itineraries with pedestrian
