Initial findings on measuring the wider benefits of climate action
focus on bikeability and walkability in Mexico City; specifically:
• Introduction of bike lanes
• Bike-share (EcoBici)
• Pedestrian avenue (Madero Street).
Cities need the evidence and tools to make a stronger case, enabling the staggering increase in scale and pace of action required.
