Envisioning of smart cycling in seven cities: Discourse analysis of official city documents
This article investigates how and why smart cycling is implemented in cities. First, we develop a conceptual framework based on the literature that addresses sustainable transportation in cities,with a focus on cycling. Afterwards, we use this framework to explore how cycling is mentioned in the official discourse of cities by examining published official city documents using discourse analysis. Thus, we investigate the narratives published around smart cycling in seven cities: Helsinki, Montreal, Moscow, Tokyo, Dublin, Boston, and Vancouver. Conducting discourse analysis helps contextualize the implementation of smart cycling in cities, allowing us to grasp whether and how the narratives of smart cycling in the cities’ discourse are aligned towards a more technical or social recipe. This research shows that smart cycling narratives in cities emphasize both its social and technical aspects, reflecting the socio-technical aspects and nature of smart cycling and its discourse. This comprehensive understanding of smart cycling indicates that it can play different roles in different cities, based on a city’s goals and vision. Hence, smart cycling is a versatile tool for addressing urban challenges and building smarter, more sustainable cities, both technically and socially.
期刊介绍:
in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance.
Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
