Velo-city 2019 takes over Dublin!

Dublin City Council hosted the Velo-City 2019 international cycling conference in Dublin, Ireland from the 25th to the 28th June 2019.

Another successful Velo-city 2019 conference, hosted this year by the City of Dublin, came to a close of Friday, June 28th. At the, closing ceremony, which attrached a full house, the Advisor for Innovation and Foresight for the International Transport Forum (ITF) at OECD, Philippe Crist, gave it a proper goodbye:

“The City of the Future is in our hands, we can influence what it will look like, today. And the people who can do that are in this room. What would you keep and what would you leave in the past?”

The theme for Velo-city 2019 Dublin was Cycling for the Ages, which focuses on encouraging cycling for people of all ages and abilities, young and old, male and female, as part of their daily transport and recreation. This year, Velo-city took off with an exploration of the "City of the Future", and the opportunities and challenges that technological advances pose on urban mobility and policy development. While the first sessions of Velo-city 2019 looked towards the future, the final day of the conference highlighted the importance of creating “The City of Today”. Topics ranged from the implementation of sustainable urban planning practices to the importance of cycling advocacy, to the different ways to create incentives for the use of cycling as a sustainable form of mobility.

With over 1300 participants, more than 300 speakers, in over 80 sessions over four full days, Velo-city 2019 was a round success, due to the great knowledge and enthusiasm that event participants brought to Dublin, with a view of creating a better world for cyclists, for the ages.
