Initiated by ETH Zurich’s Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, the E‑Bike City project explores how cities can repurpose existing road space to prioritise micromobility—bikes, e‑bikes, cargo bikes and scooters—and public transport, all while maintaining essential car access.🧵

The entire exhibition has been designed from a child's point of view, with space for discussion with Académie du Climat, who created some of the works presented. Throughout their journey, younger ones will be guided by Copi, a little character they also find in the activity booklet provided to them.
