Ep 1 - How Stockholm Moves with Lars Strömgren
Description
Welcome to the first episode of Collective Choices!
Lars Strömgren is Vice Mayor for Transport and Urban Environment in Stockholm, Sweden.
We're talking about:
- why transport solutions also include decreasing transport, not just facilitating it
- the time when Stockholm had more cyclists than Copenhagen
- electric boats as buses
- winter cycling
- what the recent EU resolution to adopt a cycling strategy means
- summer streets and play streets
- how city planning is a bit like Hamlet
- the essence of a city
This episode was recorded in the Stockholm City Hall, a gorgeous building that should be on your must-see list in case you visit Stockholm.
