Abstract
With increasing pressure on liveability in cities due to climate change and rising metropolitan populations, a new perspective on urban transport is needed. Cycling as a mean of transport can be seen as the summit of sustainable urban mobility and enhances liveability in cities. However, the transport system is complex and dependent on land-use and visa versa. The Land Use Transport Feedback Cycle captures this dynamic interplay between different variables. Combined with knowledge about sustainable urban mobility, liveability and bicycle policies, this research constructs a conceptual framework that encompasses the premises of bicycle policies. A longitudinal case study is conducted to give insight in how the indicators of the bicycle policy premises change and are used in Utrecht between 2000 and now. The conceptual framework contributes to the theoretical debate about bicycle policy premises, and the analysis can performe as a model for municipalities to evaluate their bicycle polcies.
