Bicycle City: Riding the Bike Boom to a Brighter Future

We will discuss a book about how bicycles can serve as “intermediaries” in helping cities move from car-created sprawl toward something more desirable: walkable, transit-oriented, “people-centric” communities. Good news, the author says: The transition can be fairly rapid.

Dan Piatkowski is an American-born professor of urban planning who teaches at a university in Oslo, Norway.

We will look for lessons in this book that could make Urban Atlanta better.
