In recent years, European cities have been undergoing a transformative shift towards becoming more bicycle-friendly, marking a quiet revolution in urban mobility. This movement is vividly captured in Ingwar Perowanowitsch’s 2025 documentary, “Cycling Cities,” which explores how cities like Paris, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen have reimagined their urban landscapes to prioritize cycling. Building upon this visual narrative, Perowanowitsch has authored a comprehensive book titled “Cycling Cities \u2013 The Quiet Revolution of Cities,” published on September 7, 2026.

The book delves into the evolution of urban spaces, emphasizing the pivotal role of bicycles in creating livable, sustainable, and healthier environments. Perowanowitsch argues that the bicycle is an underestimated climate protection technology, capable of addressing urban challenges such as air pollution, noise, space consumption, and traffic congestion.

Through detailed case studies of cities like Paris, Utrecht, and Copenhagen, the book illustrates how these urban centers have successfully integrated cycling into their transportation networks. It highlights the importance of reallocating public space from car-centric infrastructures to pedestrian and cyclist-friendly designs, fostering a more human-centric urban experience.

Perowanowitsch’s work serves as both a reflection on the progress made and a call to action for other cities to embrace similar transformations. By showcasing the benefits of a bicycle-friendly urban environment, the book aims to inspire a global movement towards sustainable and livable cities. (swr.de<\/a>)<\/p>\n
