“Bogota has won the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy’s 2022 Sustainable Transport Award (STA) in recognition of its achievements in boosting active travel.

The Colombian capital was one of the first cities in the world to create a network of pop-up bike lanes during the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw cycling quadruple on some main roads.

In total, 84 kilometres of cycle paths were installed, with 28 kilometres becoming permanent.”
