RENZO PIANO
More than 500,000 bicycle trips are made every day in cities such as Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Bogota. The average distance of a trip inside the cities is less than 10 km which can be perfectly done in sustainable ways of transport such as cycling; health problems such as stress, overweight, depression, and anxiety, can improve with daily exercise on a bicycle, not mentioning the CO2 reduction.
The bridge is divided into two separate paths for bicycles -on the upper level- each one accessible by means of ramps, and a pedestrian path on the lower level accessible by elevator.
You can find bicycle parking, information points, cafe, retail stores, repair and storage ECC.
Finally, our proposal generates more than 540 k watts by means of solar panels, this energy enables to fulfill the operation.
