This e-course introduces participants to the FLOW project’s philosophy on
congestion and congestion reduction through walking and cycling measures. They
look at the FLOW conceptual framework and the role of walking a cycling in
congestion reduction, the FLOW Handbook on Indicators that measure congestion
reduction in the context of walking cycling and the FLOW portfolio of walking
and cycling measures relevant for congestion reduction. A concrete example of
the application of FLOW tools in the context of College Green in Dublin is
demonstrated.
These
e-courses provide you with the background and ideas of the FLOW project and how
you can get the most out of this online platform and this course. It looks at
the current context in which we are working and the extent to which walking and
cycling are generally incorporated in transport planning. It then addresses the
paradigm shift that FLOW (and others) see as necessary in order for
non-motorised transport to fulfil its potential in addressing issues of urban
congestion.
