Neighborhood Opportunity Mapping for Regional EquityKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity

- Neighborhood opportunity mapping analyzes access to opportunities like education, employment, transportation, and health across regions to understand spatial inequities. - Maps are powerful visual tools that can efficiently display large amounts of data and tell stories to inform people and help solve problems. - Research shows living in high poverty, segregated neighborhoods limits access to opportunities and success due to conditions and isolation from resources. This cumulative impact perpetuates inequities over time. - Opportunity mapping assesses where communities with access to opportunities exist and where underserved communities lack access, to understand and address inequities at a regional scale.

Liveable City – Walkable CitySchmidt Istvan

This document discusses the benefits of livable, walkable cities. It notes that urbanization is increasing globally, with over 50% of people living in cities. Livable cities are compact, mixed-use, diverse, and provide access to healthcare, green spaces, and sustainable transportation like walking, biking, and public transit. Walkable cities improve health by reducing obesity and asthma, and increase social capital by facilitating accidental meetings between neighbors. They are also better for the environment due to lower household carbon emissions compared to car-dependent areas. The document encourages individuals to drive less, support local businesses, be conscious voters, care for neighbors, form walking/biking groups, and teach children to appreciate walkable communities.

Pueblo SWOT Writeupjacob schmitz

This document summarizes the strengths, threats, and opportunities for walking and biking infrastructure in Pueblo, Colorado based on a SWOT analysis. The strengths include an interconnected network of over 30 miles of multi-use trails concentrated around downtown Pueblo and Colorado State University. Threats include difficulty changing commuter behavior and being unable to control community reception to campaigns. Opportunities exist in three neighborhoods: 1) around Bellmont Elementary with low walking/biking and street layout issues, 2) north of Pueblo Country Club bordered by car-centric businesses, and 3) along Lakeview Avenue with high vehicle use and few through streets. Suggested improvements include public relations campaigns and better bike lane markings

The document outlines 4 goals for promoting urban cycling: 1) Focus on cycling as a quick and easy way to travel (A2B-ism) rather than emphasizing environmental benefits. 2) Apply basic marketing techniques to position urban cycling positively as a healthy, affordable, and mainstream activity rather than difficult, expensive, and dangerous. 3) Address safety concerns with urban cycling directly rather than ignoring issues. 4) Rebrand urban cycling as a democratic activity for livable cities rather than associating it with subcultures.

Beijing 2014Marco

This document summarizes key insights from a study on cycling in the Netherlands and potential lessons for China. It finds that 31% of all trips in Amsterdam are by bike, growing mostly at the expense of cars. Cycling rates are high across age, income, and education levels. The Dutch cycle for all trip purposes but more for education. Cities with faster bike trips relative to cars and high citizen participation see increasing cycling shares. Improving cycling safety involves increasing car parking costs and priority for cyclists. The perception of cycling conditions improves with more bike parking and participation. While Chinese cities now resemble Europe in the 1960s, innovations like electric bikes and bike highways, and bike-train combinations could expand cycling spatially. Adopting

Editor's Notes

#4: Traditionally, we’ve associated cycling with bike races like the Tour de France or bike racers like lance Armstrong. But lance armstrong can’t take the credit for the movement that has brought bicycling to the forefront of our minds…
#5: Bicycling has become normalized and it’s no longer relegated to be enjoyed by bike racers like Lance Armstrong or being just for kids. It’s being popularized by all levels of cyclists from the casual enthusiasts and families who ride for leisure to the passionate cyclist who rides for the sport
#6: It isn’t very often that we see bike culture intersect with fashion culture but more and more fashion designers are using bicycles for their models to go down the runway
#7: Used as an accessory while selling the main product
#8: Now we’ve moved away from being the accessory to being the main attraction. These designer bikes give adults an serious upgrade from their childhood bicycles
#9: Magazines, mainstreamblogs and newspapers
#11: Don’t get me wrong…as you can see here, these images do exist…but they are far and few between and are not the norm…these images you see here are a mix of stock photos and magazines…if you’re not a subscriber of the magazine or user of the product you might not see these images or these images might just not resonate
#12: But where are the real world photos like these that show ethnically and culturally diverse images in both all settings that actually shows hey there are people like me that a bicycle!
#13: The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center’s Image Library is a great resource for pedestrian and bicycle professionals looking for free, non-commercial images to include in their reports and presentations. It includes nearly 1,400 user-submitted images that are searchable by category and by word tags. In their word cloud, there is a tag for diversity. Out of all the images that they have available (CLICK NOW) only 28 have been tagged “Diversity”. Let me show you a few examples. (CLICK THROUGH ALL SLIDES THEN CONTINUE) I’ll let you decide if these images fit your ideal of “Diversity” but I do think it’s important to note that there’s a difference between a picture being considered diverse because it represents a great mixture of age, ethnicity and setting vs. a being tagged as diverse because it contains one person of color
#14: When I showed this picture a year ago, this was the only bike I knew how to ride. Yes, at the age of 35 I learned how to ride! Everyone would ask how can you be an adult or a bike/ped planner that doesn’t know how to ride. I may not have know how to ride but I was able to see the benefit in knowing how to ride and I’ve taken it upon myself as part of a local advocacy group in Montclair to ensure that we start spreading that truth. I finally validated myself as a bike planner by learning but the main point for me is that I’m a product of my environment…you learned to ride when you were a kid and if you didn’t oh well then you end up like me.
#15: Many people in communities of color do not use bicycles to get around – either by choice or by limitationTime- there’s a myth about black women not doing anything that’ll get their hair wet – it’s less about the hair and more about the time and money that it costs to maintain it…
#21: Diversification needs to happen on various levels such as gender and race Complete Streets for all users not just those communities!– As I said before, there’s been better awareness of the various type of users but not all users. When doing our plans, and programmatic activities we should be being mindful of cultural and ethnic differences for all those who might be using the facilities
