Chris Bruntlett, urban mobility expert and author on cycling and tactical urbanism, and Melissa Bruntlett, author focused on people-centered city design, discuss women reshaping cities. They cover pandemic-driven street experiments, Paris pop-up bike lanes, Montreal pedestrianized commercial streets, Barcelona Superblocks, Sydney’s rapid bike network, and gendered safety initiatives like Delhi’s crowdsourced reporting.

Research paper co-authors Shelley Bontje and Chris Bruntlett discuss balancing traffic calming with emergency response times. They delve into the Dutch approach to street design for both cyclists and EMS vehicles. The podcast explores innovative governance models, cultural traits of Dutch engineers, and the importance of collaboration between bike advocates and EMS workers for safer cities.
