“In many cultures – not least in North America – the bicycle is

still sadly misunderstood. It remains a tolerated tag-along in the

abstract

The bicycle has played a role in urban life

for over one hundred years. The positive

impacts of an environment conducive to

active travel are wide-ranging, while the

negative externalities associated with an

overreliance on cars is well understood.

After World War II, an explosion of American

suburban growth occurred, drawing city

dwellers from around the country to live in

newly created, car-centric neighbourhoods.

Cars were promoted as the pinnacle of

freedom in American society – eventually

making bicycles and active travel almost

obsolete outside a few major cities in the

US.

Over the past several decades, the financial,

social, physical, and climatic impacts of

prioritising the automobile have grown

increasingly evident. However, most of

the current dialogue surrounding the

reprioritisation of active travel and bicycling

– normally at the expense of cars – is

heavily skewed towards dense, climaticallytemperate

cities. While there might be a

correlation between a region’s climate and

the amount of active travel its residents

engage in, there lacks a comparatively

similar amount of research on active travel

in climates that experience extreme heat.

Moreover, much of the existing research –

although changing quickly – has centred

around best practices found in cities with

relatively high bicycle mode share instead

of the common barriers and challenges

residents face to bicycling in their built

environments. This Project aims to examine

and intervene in the latter, hoping to provide

a base foundation for future research into

the ways to mitigate these challenges

and barriers for residents living in places

that consistently experience extreme heat

events year-to-year.

1.1 | introduction

This Major Research Project investigates the possibilities for the prompting

of modal shift from driving to bicycling in American suburbs that reliably

experience extreme heat. Examination strategies will look at existing dialogue

and literature on barriers to increased cycling and how chosen case studies

have mitigated the most cited barriers to active travel by bicycle in the context

of extreme heat environments. By using examples from cities around the

world with similar environments and best practices cited in literature, the

project looks to bring together lessons successes and failures in cities that

have increased their bicycle mode share and apply them in a climate-sensitive

design application for a study site located in a Dallas, Texas suburb.

Extreme heat is defined by the US Federal

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

as “a long period (2 to 3 days) of high

heat and humidity with temperatures

above 90 degrees [32C].” (Ready.gov,

2022) Places like Dallas, Atlanta, and

Phoenix can experience months-long

periods of extreme heat. While there are

myriad different influences on American

suburban residents’ choice to drive over

walking or cycling, extreme heat or cold

can operate as a deterrent for active

travel. (An et al., 2019; Butterworth &

Pojani, 2018) However, the relationship

between extreme heat, mode choice, and

barriers to bicycling or walking is not as

extensively studied, whereas research

into the correlations between weather

patterns, climate, and active travel trends

towards more temperate climates or those

that experience extreme weather on the

opposite end of the spectrum. (Masoumi,

2019) Many of the most cited exemplars

of bicycle-friendly environments are

geographically and climatically related,

often having flat landscapes and mild

weather patterns.

Research on the reasons why people

across North America choose to transport

themselves by car rather than by bicycle

points to several common barriers to

active travel. A study by Manaugh et al.

(2016) on residents near McGill University

in Montreal, Canada reveals that concerns

about safety, effort, and comfort are

frequently cited as the largest barriers to

overcome for people who bicycle or are

interested in bicycling, with others like

availability of bicycle parking, cost, and

distance also cited. Research by an array

of authors, such as Pucher & Buehler

(2006), Buehler & Dill (2016), Boufous et

al. (2021), Butterworth & Pojani (2018),

Higgins & Ahern (2021), and Pearson et al.

(2022) also suggest that barriers related

to culture and infrastructure significantly

impact the decision to walk, bike, or

use a car in the United States. However,

answering why people don’t cycle more

in places around the US involves an

almost-infinitely complex set of issues

and interconnected factors. (An et al.,

2019) Furthermore, little research exists

that examines bicycling as a mode of

active travel in environments that reliably

and consistently experience extreme

heat events for prolonged periods of time.

(Pearson et al., 2022)

1.5 | limitations

With limited direct, built environmentrelated

primary research on the causes

and effects of active travel in extreme heat,

the Project is limited by the question of

whether extreme heat is a non-negligible

influence on people’s decisions to use a

car over a bike rather than other factors

like shading, routing, infrastructure

availability, and others.

The Project is also limited by the global

spread of the case study cities. The

global spread and appeal of bicycling has

created cities around the world to learn

from. Unfortunately, the author of this

Project was unable to visit most cities and

had to rely solely on academic literature

and secondary resources.

1.6 | contribution to practice

The myriad causal factors in influencing

the relationship between people and

their mode choices are well studied and

increasingly understood. However, there

is little research that tests the possible

correlation between extreme heat and

active travel, while more exists on colder

weather and in milder climate contexts.

This Major Research Project aims to pull

together literature from not only the fields

associated with the built environment,

but also health, physiology, psychology,

and finance, among others, to attempt to

better understand the relationships and

possible correlations between extreme

heat and active travel patterns.

Furthermore, the Project looks at ways to

cater design to meet the needs of a built

environment inherently hostile to travel

modes other than cars, with additional

regards to the needs of different age

groups. This catered design is theoretically

applied to the study site and tested

through a research-led design approach.

2.1 | methodology

This Project’s methodology for research,

design, and implementation first began

with an initial literature review following

a research question on the overarching

barriers to bicycling in urban/suburban

environments, specificities as to how

humans operate in extreme heat, and

climate-sensitive catered design solutions.

(February – April 2021). Examination of

case studies and construction of a design

framework followed (April – June 2021),

which helped inspire the creation of a

design proposal for the study site (June

– August 2021. Lastly, reflections and

conclusions regarding the theoretical

and practical implementation of the

design proposal and design framework

were collected (August 2021).

The initial literature review analysed

various pieces of academic literature,

government data, contemporary

professional dialogue, and subject books

relevant to active travel and urban design

around the world. An emphasis on climatesensitive

research and examinations in

literature guided the Project’s pursuit of

questioning whether places that reliably

experience extreme heat events yearto-year

could be conducive to higher

bicycle mode share. Commonalities

between cities and suburban areas

around the world that have successfully

increased the number of residents that

bicycle (commuting, leisure, or both)

were connected. Disparities between

research on colder-climate areas and

warmer-climates were found, where the

former seems to draw more attention

as more temperate cities may be more

conducive to active travel by bicycle. This

Project aims to contribute to the existing

vacancies in active travel dialogue for

extreme weather climates.

The four case studies include (1) Sydney,

Australia; (2) Taipei, Taiwan; (3) Carmel,

Indiana; and (4) Barcelona, Spain. These

locations were chosen based on a mix

of their relative similarities in climate to

the study site’s (Flower Mound, Texas)

politics, cultural similarities, exemplary

solutions to the overarching barriers

to bicycling in the US, and/or their built

environment. These similarities enable the

transposition of successful interventions,

implementations, and initiatives found in

these cities to the study site in conjunction

with the constructed design framework.

Four roads in Flower Mound, Texas were

chosen to apply the conceptual design

framework. These thoroughfares serve a

vast majority of north-south and east-west

traffic in the city but are underutilised

in serving non-car modes of travel. The

framework does not aim to provide

solutions for long-distance, intraregional

bicycle travel in the Dallas-Fort Worth

region. It instead looks at the potential to

replace cars with bicycles for local trips

to supermarkets, schools, workplaces,

and others – scaled to fit similar built

environment contexts in American

suburbs. Connecting the existing bicycle

network with safe bicycle infrastructure

on these roadways can potentially induce

local commuter and leisure trips.

The theoretical implementation of

the design proposal and conceptual

framework provide the basis for reflections

of the entire process and outcomes at the

final stages of the Major Research Project.

Following conclusionary reflections, the

potential for future research, literature,

and debate on bicycles as a mode of

comprehensive active travel in extreme

heat environments is made clear.

4.1 | case studies introduction

Four case studies from around the

world were chosen according to various

similarities to the study site’s context.

Briefly, Sydney’s culture towards bicycling

is reminiscent of the Dallas region’s –

where cars are so engrained into society

that people who don’t use one are at-risk

of breaking strong cultural mores.

Taipei’s success in its climate and bike share

programme provides an excellent example

of how to pursue increased bicycle travel in

extreme heat environments.

Carmel, Indiana’s Monon Boulevard has

brought life to the midtown of an Industrial

Belt suburb.

Lastly, Barcelona’s climate proves that

with the right environment, hotter climates

can successfully attract and induce bicycle

usage.

Overall, these case studies and the various

aspects of their bicycle networks, culture,

and built environment are brought

together to assist this project’s conceptual

framework and design toolkit in application

on the study site.

context

Considered “the city that hates bikes”, Sydney has

long been a hostile place to cyclists. However, the

city has come a long way in newly reformatting

their built environment to cater to more bicyclists.

Sydney serves as an important example of

implementation in a complex environment.

Although one of the comparable milder climates

increasing cycling and is noteworthy.

It’s no secret that the Catalonian capital is already

well-known as a great place to bicycle. It ranks 15th

out of 20 in the Copenhagenize Index, with plenty

of room for improvement. However, Barcelona has

been innovative and fast-acting in their approach

towards bicycling as a better mode of

transportation. Their creation of Superblocks,

closure of streets to cars, vast network of cycle paths

and lanes make it a great example of bicycle-centric

priorities.

culture infrastructure safety effort comfort

sydney, australia

The city’s efforts to fight

several battles on different

fronts - including against the

New South Wales

government and powerful

voice of motorists - have been

semi-fruitful in influencing its

bicycle culture. But there’s

still plenty of room to grow.

Sydney’s infrastructure

strengths lie in its variety.

With an array of bike lanes,

paths, commuter routes, and

recreational pathways there is

no lack of choice. Where it

falls short, however, is its

overall connectivity.

The NSW capital is still very

much a car city. Yet, its bicycle

infrastructure, facilities,

educational outreach, and

access to online cycling

materials help create a

culture of safety on its

netwoks.

The variation in commuter,

recreational, and leisure

routes allow for different users

to bicycle around Sydney for

different reasons. The city’s

network allows for either

direct or leisurely routes, but

often don’t contain adequate

shading.

Government guidance on the

inclusion of end-of-trip

facilities has helped increase

the amount of showers,

toilets, and lockers available

to bicyclists who need them

for their commute or

recreational trip.

taipei, taiwan

carmel, indiana, usa

“The Bicycle Kingdom” gets

its namesake from its

behemoth bicycle export

industry. But until recently,

Taipei’s cityscape catered

almost solely to cars. The

YouBike hire programme,

however, has been

monumental to the curation

of a cycle culture.

While its recreational paths

are noteworthy, inner city

bicycle paths rely heavily on

shared spaces with

pedestrians. This can create

toxic interactions and be

counterintuitive to increasing

the amount of people who

commute by bicycle.

Many of Taipei’s inner city

routes are either shared with

pedestrians or cars, often

changing between one or the

other. The mix of scooters,

cars, and bicycles on the

roadways can create

dangerous interactions

before, at, and after junctions.

The YouBike programme’s

seamless integration with the

public transport system is an

example any city with a share

programme should strive for.

Many of the inner city routes

are shaded by tree canopies

and building shadows,

helping alleviate some of the

discomfort of bicycling in the

heat.

barcelona, spain

Carmel undoubtedly suffers

from some of the same issues

that other suburban

American cities encounter,

but it has taken tremendous

steps to draw investment in

bicycle infrastructure and

prove that multi-modal

infrastructure is an attractive

financial model.

Carmel and its surrounding

areas maintain high

connectivity, with recreational

pathways along district

boundaries also serving as

commuter

routes,

intermingling with new

developments along Monon

Boulevard and elsewhere.

The bicycle network is mostly

separated from cars, but may

share space with the

occasional pedestrian or

jogger in the more rural

routes. Online materials and

safety courses help teach

residents safety basics.

While Monon Boulevard is an

ideal example, the rest of

Carmel’s trail system and

typical separation of land use

and distance between home,

work, and leisure work

against the city’s increased

emphasis on bicycles.

Aside from Monon Boulevard

and shower/toilet facilities at

trailheads, commuting in

Carmel and throughout the

region - especially in hotter

weather - can deter people

from ditching their cars to

commute by bicycle.

The Barcelona government

has been a monumental force

in the reformation of its city

blocks as places for people

instead of cars. However, its

been more difficult to fully

convince a larger portion of its

population to get around by

bicycle.

There’s no lack of solid bicycle

infrastructure that caters to

all users in the city. However,

its famous centred bicycle

tracks in the middle of some

thoroughfares draws some

concern for safety,

accessibility, and comfort.

The layout, urban canyons,

and design of many of

Barcelona’s streets are

conducive to safer speeds

than wide thoroughfares.

Government-backed

education measures allow

residents of all ages to grow

into their bicycles safely.

The Bici hire scheme’s

integration with Barcelona’s

transit system, extent and

variation of the city’s bicycle

network, and land use allow

for residents to get where

they need by bicycle without

undergoing an extensive

workout.

Government guidance on the

inclusion of end-of-trip

facilities has helped increase

the amount of showers,

toilets, and lockers available

to bicyclists who need them

for their commute or

recreational trip.

5.1 | conceptual framework

5.2 | design toolkit

This Project’s conceptual framework and

subsequent design toolkit aim to address

the challenges and barriers of bicycling in

extreme heat environments.

The five identified challenges are used

contextually to examine and extract

relevant information from the study sites.

With a comprehensive investigation,

extrapolation, and utilisation process, seven

key design principles naturally emerge.

These design principles – which are

extensively inspired by the literature review

and case study analysis – look to physically

address these challenges and barriers to

bicycling.

The entire framework serves as an

expandable and scalable set of strategies

and principles that can be applied to built

environments elsewhere.

Emerging from the framework are seven

key design principles aimed at physically

addressing the challenges, barriers, and

vacancies of extreme heat environments in

American suburbs:

1. Separation

2. Variety

3. Shading

4. Safe Junctions

5. Routing

6. Activation

7. Connectivity

These are then used to propose design

interventions on the study sites, where the

framework and toolkit are theoretically

tested.

strategies

objective(s)

design principles

nudge

1. Incrementally “nudge” residents to move from cars to

bicycles

2. Aim first to increase local trips, as many Flower Mound

residents’ commutes to work are long and difficult to

immediately replace

3. Target “first movers” - or those most likely to pick up

bicycling initially - which may encourage other residents

to think about changing their mode choice

4. Increase demand for better bicycling conditions

routing

separation

incentivise

1. Give people reasons to ditch their cars for bicycles - by,

for example, decreasing available parking and replacing

vacant space with bicycle and pedestrian-only

programming

2. Promote financial incentives with policy, community

events, tax deductions, etc.

3. Introduce educational programmes not only for children,

but all ages - however, educating children at an early age

can help change and create a bicycle-aware culture

adjacency

activation

dedicate

infrastructure

1. Separate infrastructure to give existing and new

bicyclists better safety conditions and intuitive routing

2. Dedicate bike-specific investment that gives residents

commuter and leisure routes, allowing commutes across

the city and local tasks by bicycle

3. Commuter routes should follow direct paths

4. All route types (commuter, leisure, local) should aim to

utilise existing greenery, tree canopies, and narrow

urban canyons for shading

6.1 | site context

Much of Flower Mound’s built environment

revolves around the operation and storage

of cars. Four ‘main’ roads – two each –

run north-south and east-west across

the city, serving a large amount of traffic

and connecting residents to surrounding

suburban areas. Three of these roads

originally served as routes for farmers to

get their products to and from older cities

closer to Dallas. While their street names

represent historical aspects of the city,

such as Long Prairie Road or Cross Timbers

Road, they also officially go by their former

Farm-to-Market designations – FM 2499

and FM 1171, respectively, for example.

The four “study sites” are (1) FM 2499 Long

Prairie Road); (2) FM 1171 Cross Timbers

Road; (3) FM 3040 Flower Mound Road; and

(4) Morriss Road. Flower Mound’s extensiveyet-disconnected

trail and bikeway system

fails to utilise these roads, where ample

space for cycle tracks and pathways could

help increase the amount of residents who

not only use bicycles to get to or from their

workplace in the city, but also for grocery

shoppers, restaurant-goers, children, and

others.

The author’s growing up and familiarity

within the city and region allow for a

unique perspective on the specific issues

in its built environment and influences the

site for selection.

6.2 | site analysis

Flower Mound’s built environment is

reminiscent of other American suburbs

constructed after World War II in the

United States. Whereas cities like New York

and San Francisco – constructed before

the mass adoption of the car – follow a

grid pattern, places like Flower Mound

were built with winding road patterns that

stopped at dead-ends (AKA Cul-de-Sac).

The diagrams to the right show Flower

Mound’s building concentration, existing

bikeways, and car streets and roads. The

disconnection of the existing bikeway

network prompts evaluation for better

ways to connect areas within the city by

active travel methods.

Flower Mound’s existing trailway network

is extensive for the size of its population,

but it remains disconnected. Furthermore,

infrastructure for commuter travel barely

exists and the connection between

commuter and leisure pathways is almost

nonexistant.

The city’s east-west connection is minimal,

even for car standards. As Flower Mound

continues to grow and expand, it will be

critical for its residents’ health, safety, and

prosperity to connect these different areas.

FM 2499 runs north-south through the

middle of Flower Mound. To the south, it

turns into a state-controlled roadway that

merges with Interstate Highway 35 (I-35). It

carries a large amount of car traffic within

and through the city. Commercial and

office use is found adjacent to this road,

and residential is often blocked off with

walls to mitigate sound pollution.

As found in the literature review, junction

safety and comfort while travelling are

important barriers to cycling. This first

junction is found at the intersection of FM

2499 and FM 1171, where 35 lanes converge

at two of the busiest roadways in Flower

Mound.

Morriss Road contains a wide median

separating its four lanes. The proposed

cycle track runs within this median and is

connected with either side throughout the

junction by painted cycle tracks.

7.2 | activation of space (ex. 1)

Located adjacent to the southern portion of

FM 2499, this large parking lot sits next to a

relatively dense, mixed-use neighbourhood

called Lakeside. This open parking lot is

only ever close to capacity on Friday and

Saturday nights, sitting as an underutilised

space for the rest of the week.

By activating this space with market stalls,

miniature libraries, and community events,

active travellers can be encouraged to

make a bicycle trip or stop by on their way

to or from daily activities.

F43: Activation space example 1

64


7.2 | activation of space (ex. 2)

This large, empty lot has been vacant for

several years as the supermarket it once

served is now derelict. This lot sits directly

adjacent to FM 2499 and FM 3040 at the

northeastern corner of the junction.

This lot could be used in conjunction with

the now-empty supermarket building

(located to the right in the background) to

provide market and community space.

appendix I: risk assessment


RISK ASSESSMENT FORM

FIELD / LOCATION WORK

DEPARTMENT/SECTION: BARTLETT SCHOOL OF PLANNING / MSC UDCP

LOCATION(S): DALLAS, TEXAS, UNITED STATES

PERSONS COVERED BY THE RISK ASSESSMENT: Benton Meador

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FIELDWORK (including geographic location):

Observational data collected using an iPhone and airborne drone at various locations within Dallas, Texas.

COVID-19 RELATED GENERIC RISK ASSESSMENT STATEMENT:

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The virus

spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or

sneezes. Droplets fall on people in the vicinity and can be directly inhaled or picked up on the hands and

transferred when someone touches their face. This risk assessment documents key risks associated

fieldwork during a pandemic, but it is not exhaustive and will not be able to cover all known risks, globally.

This assessment outlines principles adopted by UCL at an institutional level and it is necessarily general.

Please use the open text box 'Other' to indicate any contingent risk factors and control measures you might

encounter during the course of your dissertation research and writing.

Please refer to page 26-33 of your Dissertation in Planning Guidance Document (available on Moodle) to

help you complete this form.

Hazard 1: Risk of Covid -19 infection during research related travel and research related

interactions with others (when face-to-face is possible and/or unavoidable)

Risk Level - Medium /Moderate

Existing Control Measures: Do not travel if you are unwell, particularly if you have COVID-19 symptoms.

Self-isolate in line with NHS (or country-specific) guidance.

Avoid travelling and face-to-face interactions; if you need to travel and meet with others:

- If possible, avoid using public transport and cycle or walk instead.

- If you need to use public transport travel in off-peak times and follow transport provider's and

governmental guidelines.

- Maintain (2 metre) social distancing where possible and where 2 metre social distancing is not

achievable, wear face covering.

- Wear face covering at all times in enclosed or indoor spaces.

- Use hand sanitiser prior to and after journey.

- Avoid consuming food or drinks, if possible, during journey.

- Avoid, if possible, interchanges when travelling - choose direct route.

- Face away from other persons. If you have to face a person ensure

that the duration is as short as possible.

- Do not share any items i.e. stationary, tablets, laptops etc. If items need to be shared use

disinfectant wipes to disinfect items prior to and after sharing.

- If meeting in a group for research purposes ensure you are following current country specific guidance on

face-to-face meetings (i.e rule of 6 etc.)

- If and when possible meet outside and when not possible meet in venues with good ventilation (e.g. open

a window)

- If you feel unwell during or after a meeting with others, inform others you have interacted with, self-isolate

and get tested for Covid-19

- Avoid high noise areas as this mean the need to shout which increases risk of aerosol transmission

of the virus.

- Follow one way circulation systems, if in place. Make sure to check before you visit a building.

- Always read and follow the visitors policy for the organisation you will be visiting.

- Flush toilets with toilet lid closed.

-'Other' Control Measures you will take (specify):

NOTE: The hazards and existing control measures above pertain to Covid-19 infection risks only.

More generalised health and safety risk may exist due to remote field work activities and these are

outlined in your Dissertation in Planning Guidance document. Please consider these as possible 'risk'

factors in completing the remainder of this standard form. For more information also see: Guidance

Framework for Fieldwork in Taught and MRes Programmes, 2020-21

Consider, in turn, each hazard (white on black). If NO hazard exists select NO and move to next hazard

section.

If a hazard does exist select YES and assess the risks that could arise from that hazard in the risk

assessment box.

Where risks are identified that are not adequately controlled they must be brought to the attention

of your Departmental Management who should put temporary control measures in place or stop the

work. Detail such risks in the final section.

ENVIRONMENT

e.g. location, climate,

terrain, neighbourhood,

in outside organizations,

pollution, animals.

CONTROL MEASURES

Is the risk high / medium / low ?

Involves heat & air pollution. Researcher is personally familiar with the

environment and understands the necessary clothing, water, shading, and

breaks needed to maintain operable internal body temperature.

Researcher is aware of heavy pollution that may show up on observation days.

Will look at air quality readings before attempting to travel to observation

location(s). If air quality is poor (based on Air Quality Index (AQI) United States

Air Quality Index (AQI) : Real-Time Air Pollution Level), then researcher will plan to

observe at a different time.

Indicate which procedures are in place to control the identified risk

work abroad incorporates Foreign Office advice

only accredited centres are used for rural field work

participants will wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the specified environment

refuge is available
