Release date: 11/17/18 *** Press Release ***The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) in conjunction with the Embassy of Denmark, Washington, D.C. will bring the acclaimed exhibit “Dreams on Wheels” to San Francisco City Hall beginning November 19. Developed by curator Thomas Ermacora in collaboration with Danish architect and urban design consultant Jan Gehl, "Dreams on Wheels" showcases Danish cycling culture and Denmark's commitment to sustainability via urban design that promotes active transportation. "The SFMTA is proud to share this exciting exhibit on bicycling with San Francisco and the Bay Area,” said Nathaniel P. Ford Sr., SFMTA Executive Director/CEO. “We know that it will be of great interest to our growing bicycling community.” The “Dreams on Wheels" exhibit has made an international journey, most recently stopping in London and Portland, Oregon. The exhibit merges urban cycling culture, design intelligence and environmental consciousness and features case studies on how cycling has affected Danish culture. It also considers the history and social development of biking as a viable transportation alternative. The engagement in San Francisco runs from November 19 through December 15 in City Hall’s South Light Court weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., except for November 26 and 27. The exhibit will coincide with the United Nations International Climate Conference set for December 3 to 14 in Copenhagen. To learn more about “Dreams on Wheels,” visit www.dreamsonwheels.dk. |
