Strategies for developing a biker-friendly community
In the latest episode of the RTE Brainstorm podcast series, editor Jim Carroll explores an innovative initiative called Bikehood, aiming to transform Ireland's transportation landscape by promoting cycling, walking, and enhancing infrastructure to tackle traffic congestion, pollution, and inequality.
Host Ella McSweeney leads the discussion, interviewing Dr. Gavin McArdle from UCD's School of Computer Science and the National Centre for Geocomputation at Maynooth University, as well as Prof. Francesco Pilla from UCD's School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy.
The podcast, without prior context about the D7 Play Streets initiative or the links between residential areas and commuting, focuses on the Bikehood project and the challenges of cycling in Ireland. It also highlights an intriguing observation: teenagers in Dublin are half as likely to walk or cycle to school compared to those in Dunshaughlin, delving into the reasons behind this disparity and offering insights for policymakers and the public.
Shane Dempsey recorded the podcast at Collaborative Studios, while Aoife Ryan-Christensen serves as the assistant editor. Researcher Hazel O'Leary plays a vital role in the production, ensuring the content is well-researched and informative.
