Open Streets for Health, Planning Tips and Advice

Every city has the ingredients for success: people and streets. To leverage these assets for planning healthy cities, here are the essential tips from implemented Open Streets programs:

Gil Penalosa led the ‘Ciclovia’ in Bogota, Colombia and advises on new initiatives globally. Lucy Barriga, head of Parks and Recreation runs the ‘Via Recreativa’ for the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara, Mexico. Janette Sadik-Khan, NYC DOT Commissioner (2007-2013), led ‘Summer Streets' in New York City.
