SUMMARY:PhD defense Henk-Jan Dekker: "Cycling Pathways: The Politics and Governance of Dutch Cycling Infrastructure\, 1920-2020"
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to fight climate change\, many cities try to boost their cycling levels. They often look towards the Dutch for guidance. However\, historians have only begun to uncover how and why the Netherlands became the premier cycling country of the world. Why were Dutch cyclists so successful in their fight for a place on the road? Cycling Pathways explores the long political struggle culminating in today’s high cycling levels. Delving into the archives\, it uncovers the important role of social movements and shows in detail how these interacted with national\, provincial and urban engineers and policymakers to govern the distribution of road space and construction of cycling infrastructure. It discusses a wide range of topics\, ranging from activists to engineering committees\, from urban commuters to recreational cyclists and from the early 1900s to today in order to uncover the long and all-but-forgotten history of Dutch cycling governance.
