Initiated by ETH Zurich’s Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, the E‑Bike City project explores how cities can repurpose existing road space to prioritise micromobility—bikes, e‑bikes, cargo bikes and scooters—and public transport, all while maintaining essential car access.🧵

There’s a TON of evidence that bigger, higher vehicles are far more likely to kill somone they hit, crushing vital organs & pushing victims under.
But never forget, their weight, height & sightlines also make it far more likely that they’ll hit someone in the first place.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried.
This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.
