Introduction to data measurement for street design
In this unit, discover how cities can transform through Active Mobility—walking, cycling, and other forms of non-motorised transport.
In the video above, we explore why NMT is essential for sustainable, healthy, and vibrant cities and how streets can become dynamic spaces that serve everyone—not just cars. From reimagining what a street is to understanding how policies and design practices promote safer, more inclusive environments, we lay the groundwork for creating complete streets.
