STORYLINE
A bike ride was organized in New York City today (27 Apr) by UN-Habitat and its partners, to call for safer conditions and more priority for cyclists on the streets.
The ride was hosted by UN-Habitat and the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), with support from Transportation Alternatives, NYC DOT, Citibike and more.
It has been six years since the New Urban Agenda was adopted in Quito, Ecuador in October 2016 at Habitat III. The New Urban Agenda represents a shared vision for a better and more sustainable future and emphasizes well-planned and well-managed urbanization as a powerful tool for sustainable development. The President of the UN General Assembly will convene a meeting to assess the implementation of the New Urban Agenda at the UN headquarters in New York City on Thursday ( Apr 28).
The bike ride is to advocate for cycling as a priority transportation mode and essential service for achieving the mobility goals of the New Urban Agenda. Cycling networks, in the same manner as bus systems, basic services and urban infrastructure, must be carefully planned, implemented and maintained to truly guarantee road safety, livability and equitable access in cities.
