Cycle Commerce: The Red Blood Cells of a Smart City: Observatory: Design Observer Mobile
Cycle Commerce: The Red Blood Cells of a Smart City: Observatory: Design Observer Mobile
The workshop this week at UnBox has three priorities. The first is to remind ourselves of the amazing environmental and social gains that follow when services are cycle-based rather than depending on motorized vehicles and costly buildings.
Our second objective is to map the cycle commerce ecosystem of our host city, Delhi. Which actors and stakeholders need to be involved if bicycle commerce is to flourish?
Our third objective is about future action: what designable actions could enable such an ecosystem to flourish? Do we need an online catalogue of products and business models to aid decision support? Is micro-finance for independent vendors a priority? Are new forms of governance needed if the diverse actors involved are to collaborate?
The workshop will explore these opportunities with a steady eye on future action. It’s not just about awareness raising — we want to begin changing things for the better.

Bicycle Film Festival: making culture - Architecture - Domus
Bicycle Film Festival: making culture - Architecture - Domus
In Hong Kong, bicycles are making culture. Pedal power is shaping identity and community, affecting the ideas and designs of the cities to come and influencing the dynamics of urban areas from a social and artistic point of view. With this in mind, the Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) — which was first held in New York in 2001, and quickly became a proven success with 300,000 participants in over 30 cities — held its first edition in China last 11 through 25 January.
