Urban Cycling Institute (UCI)

The Urban Cycling Institute is part of the Center for Urban Studies of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Its research and teaching group takes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the intricate web of causes and effects of urban cycling. It strives to balance a critical academic stance with a pragmatic practice-oriented approach of developing and disseminating knowledge. Its mission is to provide a fertile ground for sharing knowledge and learning about urban cycling on all levels of the academic curriculum, and to bring this knowledge to transportation practice.

Research topics span a range of disciplines – including sociology, anthropology, geography, urban planning, and engineering – by using both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches. UCI members are part of the larger Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences and are therefore involved in a wide range of Bachelor's and Master's courses in Geography and Urban Planning. Beyond Handshake, concurrent projects include, among others, CYCLEWALK (Interreg) and Smart Cycling Futures (SURF).
