In September 2026, GDCI will launch a series of open and global webinar sessions on How to Implement Cycling Infrastructure—our latest practice-oriented publication. The series will explore key concepts from the handbook, share practical tips, and feature real-world examples that demonstrate how cities are working to increase cycling through infrastructure design.
In June 2026, GDCI launched How to Implement Cycling Infrastructure—a vital addition to the body of practice-oriented publications supporting cycling infrastructure design and delivery. This resource provides practitioners, policymakers, and advocates with step-by-step guidance for conceptualizing, designing, and delivering safer, more equitable streets through cycling infrastructure across different contexts.
To celebrate this launch, GDCI is hosting a new webinar series to bring these strategies to life. We will explore the handbook’s core concepts and practical tools, while highlighting real-world success stories from cities working to create better urban environments through cycling.
Catalyzed by urgent challenges like the climate crisis and growing public health concerns, cities are increasingly moving beyond traditional, car-centric approaches and investing in cycling as a practical, people-centered mobility solution.
Cycling is a fast, cost-effective strategy to create safer, healthier, more vibrant, and more inclusive urban environments. The momentum is global, and cities are proving that better streets are achievable
To make cycling a viable option for more people, cities need networks that support not only commuting, but also caregiving, errands, social trips, and daily routines. That means designing cycling infrastructure as part of a larger street system — one that works in harmony with walking and public transit to create seamless, connected mobility networks.
When cities integrate these modes and respond to local context, they can build streets that provide reliable, comfortable, and dignified travel for everyone. Safe, connected cycling infrastructure can expand access, choice, and quality of life for everyone!
We’re thrilled to invite leaders, practitioners, community activists, educators, caregivers, and everyone passionate about shaping safer and more livable streets to:
Hear from city practitioners and global experts about leading practices.
Learn from diverse and detailed case studies.
Access helpful and practical resources to inform and apply in your cities.
Connect to a global community working to promote safer streets for everyone.
This informational session offers a brief overview of the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI), a global program helping cities rethink their streets through safer, more connected cycling infrastructure, answers questions and provides guidance on submitting a strong application.
In March 2026, GDCI will launch a series of open and global webinar sessions on Designing for Safe Speeds —our latest supplement to the award-winning Global Street Design Guide. The series will explore key principles from the guide, share practical design strategies, and highlight real-world examples that demonstrate how cities are managing speeds and saving lives.
Starting July 2025, GDCI will launch a series of open and global webinar sessions. The series will spotlight global practices, tools, and lessons learned around key themes and priorities that reflect what matters most to the community driving the global movement for safer, healthier, and more joyful streets for kids today.
