“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)

Although it boasts an extensive 65.5-

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
studied, Sydney’s comprehensive approach to
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.

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

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

Providing a variety of facilities and route
types that cater to different needs of various
age groups and abilities
Replacing underutilised space (i.e. parking
lots, malls, etc.) with activated places
(Better Block, pop-ups) that cater specificly
to bicyclists and pedestrians
variety

shading
Considering existing sources of shade and
building upon these resources to mitigate
extreme heat and hot weather - includes
covered rest areas, water features, play
spaces, and locals’ spaces

Ensuring that the bicycle network is
connected and all route types are
integrated
safe junctions
Protecting bicyclists and pedestrians by
integrating innovative and best-practice

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.

7.1 | safe junctions (ex. 1)
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.
primary principles
Cycle tracks with shade structures, foot
rests, bicycle-specific traffic signals, and
prevention of rights-on-red by cars are used

7.1 | safe junctions (ex. 2)
At the intersection of FM 1171 and Morriss
Road, 32 lanes converge. Similar to the
previous junction intervention, cyclist
safety and comfort is increased with the
implementation of shaded structures, foot
rests, bicycle-specific traffic signals, and
prevention of right-on-reds by cars.
primary principles
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.

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

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
