Title of Example

  How can Bicycles contribute to clean air? “Cycling project in the Metropolitan Area of Seville”

Example

   

In the last few years, the use of the bicycle has been considered an alternative to the more traditional forms of transport, in the city of Seville. The Hispalense University within its Governing Council, approved a project whose main aim is to ease communication by creating a network of cycleways between the different faculties in the university distributed in the Reina Mercedes Campus , Old Tobacco Factory , Macarena and Cartuja ( there is a long distance between each campus). With this project, a demand made by the 70.000 students at the university will be achieved. The work in this project started seven years ago, and will not only meet the demand of the university students, but will also improve health and promote a healthy environment.

With the use of these cycle lane, it will be possible to ease the journeys of the students from one campus, to another one, activity that at the current moment is being increased, as a consequence of new cross curriculum study plans, because many students now have to attend curriculum subjects, in several different centres, whilst studying for their degree.

The Transport and Traffic Delegation of the Local Council have taken on the task for carrying out the building works, at the same time that the University will ensure that all the faculties have the services and accesses needed for the students and and security for cycle parking.
