“How Copenhagen Became a Cycling City” (and Lessons for Oakland) Talk Tonight @ Oakland City Hall
Copenhagen is one of the world’s premier cycling cities. But it wasn’t always that way. In the seventies Copenhagen was dominated by automobiles, much like Oakland. Tonight you have the opportunity to hear some of Europe’s foremost bike experts on the subject of how Copenhagen made the shift and how Oakland can do the same.
WHEN: Monday, September 28th from 5:30-7:30pm
WHERE: Oakland City Hall, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza – Hearing Rm 4
WHAT: “The Story of How Copenhagen Became a Cycling City” presented by Niels Jensen, plus a roundtable Q&A session with four German Marshall Cycling Delegates
WOBO is a local host to delegates from the German Marshall Fund’s Transatlantic Cities Network. They’ll be sharing their experiences and expert opinions on how and why Oakland can become a world-class cycling city. Since there’s both a talk and roundtable, if you arrive late you’ll still get to hear some pretty cool stuff and join in the conversation.
