Abstract
This proposal aims to investigate Roma Capitale’s urban policies, developed in recent years towards the implementation of ‘soft mobility’, sustainable development and ‘care of the common home’, as put forward by the Encyclical 2015 ‘Laudato Sii’.
In the context of policies already introduced, the GRAB project (Grande Raccordo Anulare delle Biciclette or Cycling Ringroad), in line with Encyclical principles which partly aim to “integrate the history, culture and architecture of a place, whilst safeguarding social identity”, is particularly significant in terms of scope and size when compared to other European experiences in cities like Copenhagen, defined recently as ‘the most bike friendly city in the world’.
The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to take stock of GRAB’s current state of implementation, comparing Rome with other more advanced European capitals regarding policies on cycling/pedestrian networks to identify the best tools for promoting and implementing a cycling/pedestrian network.
