Enabling more people to cycle and walk as an everyday means of transportation is vital to reducing emissions and improving public health.

In Denmark, the bicycle has been recognised as a fast, efficient, and sustainable mode of transportation for decades, and the key to more liveable cities and happy, healthy people – supported by a network of safe cycling infrastructure and a positive cycle culture as part of healthy urban design which also means fewer food deserts.

This webinar, part of our special Nordic Talks webinar series, will explore how Australia could move closer to Danish cycle culture and healthier design of cities, to not only improve the health of the planet, but the people on it.

Join Dr Sandro Demaio, CEO of VicHealth, an experienced researcher in Nordic nations; and Marianne Weinreich, Chair and co-founder of the Cycling Embassy of Denmark for a discussion about building healthier, more people-friendly cities.

Speakers:

Marianne Weinreich, Market Manager, Ramboll Smart Mobility; Chair, Cycling Embassy of Denmark

Dr Sandro Demaio, Chief Executive Officer, VicHealth
