About Program
Throughout this three-week summer programme, we will use Amsterdam as our living lab to examine the impacts of history, policy, infrastructure, planning, and culture within the context of urban cycling in the Netherlands. We also invite students to bring and share their personal views and experiences on cycling cities from around the world, sharing diverse perspectives, plans, and desires as we work together to plan cycling cities. As the world’s cycling capital, Amsterdam offers a premier environment for engaging with all of this.
