The city of Belo Horizonte is striving for a people-centered design of the city districts. The COVID 19 pandemic changed the mobility patterns and needs of the population and cycling in particular became an essential means of transport. The relevance of public spaces also became more apparent.
© GIZ Solutions for safe and accessible public life become more important. Speed 30 zones increase the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, and the redesign of public spaces enables social public life while taking hygiene and safety standards into account. The construction of temporary bicycle lanes and the associated filling of gaps in the bicycle lane network ensures the mobility of all parts of the population in times of crisis.
Our part would be to pilot a pathway from a neighborhood to the main cycling artery into town, which will allow many men and women to travel safely to work by bike.
