LATEST EPISODE: Seville, Spain’s Bold Bike Lane Strategy – Manuel Calvo, Sustainability Consultant
In this episode of ITE Talks Transportation, sustainability mobility consultant Manuel Calvo discusses how Seville rapidly transformed into a bike-friendly city by building an 80-kilometer protected bike lane network in just a few years. The initiative succeeded due to strong political will, public support, and strategic design focused on everyday users rather than just avid cyclists, and a fast, coordinated rollout. As a result, cycling became a mainstream mode of transportation in Seville, reshaping public spaces and changed how residents view urban mobility.
