Workshop 

Planning & Design for a Cycle Friendly City


Where: Stavanger, Norway
When: 28. & 29. October 2025

Internationale & locale experts

This workshop is born out of a collaboration between colleagues Robin van der Griend, Melissa Bruntlett, and Monica Bikos. 

Monica first met Melissa at the Norwegian Cycling Conference in Hamar in 2022 and invited her to lead a workshop in Stavanger together with Robin van der Griend. The event was a great success, and the collaboration was so rewarding that we were inspired to bring it to a broader audience.

Building consensus for active and sustainable mobility projects is increasingly challenging. As Norwegian cities transform more spaces for walking and cycling, we need to shift the way we understand our streets.

The best way to learn is by seeing and doing. Using the backdrop of Stavanger, Norway's Cycling City, our experts will lead you through an interactive workshop that will strengthen your knowledge of cycling-friendly planning and design.

This workshop is ideal for urban and transport planners, landscape architects, or anyone needing a professional refresher.

We invite you to join us for 2 days packed with knowledge development, networking, and inspiration.

A 2-day workshop combining international and Norwegian knowledge and expertise to inspire better cycling in Norway.

What you will learn:

  • Who we are designing the streets for

  • Cycling-friendly design principles for streets and neighbourhoods

  • An inclusive approach to creating a cycle network

  • How to apply these principles to cities throughout Norway


This workshop will provide you with the knowledge and ability to plan and design a more inclusive and active street, a cohesive cycling network, and, ultimately, a cycling-friendly city.
