Abstract [en]

As the title says, Mumbai- The bicycle friendly city, the aim and objective of this study is to improve the situation for cyclists in Mumbai. In order to concretize the main objective has six focus areas developed to be viewed as the most important aspects of what makes a city bicycle friendly. A smaller area of Mumbai City has been chosen as planning area in which inventories have been done to clarify the conditions to investigate how improvements can be done for the bicycle traffic. To get a deeper understanding of the planning area’s structure and what its residents think about cycling, an analysis has also been done to get a good understanding over the traffic situation. The study has resulted in a plan proposal with actions and recommendations based on local site conditions for how the bicycle traffic could be improved. The plan proposal consist of everything from more overall solutions down to detail level with design and dimensions. One can also see the study as a kind of “tool” that can be used as a bicycle manual for how to approach when improving for the bicycle traffic in other sites.

Abstract [sv]

Som titeln säger, Mumbai- Den cykelvänliga staden har syftet och visionen med det här arbetet, under hela arbetets gång varit att förbättra situationen för cykeltrafiken i Mumbai. För att konkretisera målet har visionen delats in i sex delmål som ses som de viktigaste aspekterna vad som gör en stad cykelvänlig. Ett mindre område i Mumbai City har valts som planområde där inventeringar har gjort för att klargöra forutsättningarna för cykeltrafik. För att få en djupare förståelse om planområdets strukturer och vad dess invånarna anser om cykling så har också analyser gjorts för att få en så bra bild av hur situationen ser ut i dag men Arbetet har mynnat ut i dels ett arbetsätt för hur cykelvägar kan planeras baserat på platsens lokala förutsättningar. Vilket kan ses som ett verktyg som kan appliceras för cykelplanering på andra platser. “Verktyget” har också prövats och resulterat i ett planförslag med alltifrån översiktliga lösningar till detaljnivå i det valda mrådet.
