Varley, Pamela; Mayne, QuintonCase HBS-KS1248-EEconomicsIn the first two decades of the 21st century, Copenhagen has vaulted to international attention for its enthusiastic bicycle culture and infrastructure. While it's tempting to dismiss this accomplishment as inherently easy because it took place in a city and country known for socially liberal politics, this case-by summarizing the history of cycling politics and policy in Copenhagen since the 1970s-shows that the evolution of Copenhagen as a bike...Starting at €8.20
