Ep 1 - How Stockholm Moves with Lars Strömgren
Mar 15, 2023 Episode 1
Doru Oprisan

Welcome to the first episode of Collective Choices! 

Lars Strömgren is Vice Mayor for Transport and Urban Environment in Stockholm, Sweden. 
We're talking about:
- why transport solutions also include decreasing transport, not just facilitating it
- the time when Stockholm had more cyclists than Copenhagen
- electric boats as buses 
- winter cycling
- what the recent EU resolution to adopt a cycling strategy means
- summer streets and play streets
- how city planning is a bit like Hamlet
- the essence of a city

This episode was recorded in the Stockholm City Hall, a gorgeous building that should be on your must-see list in case you visit Stockholm.
