Resume

The Danish civil society organisation, Emergency Architecture & Human Rights EA-HR cooperates with the Cuban urban sustainable development NGO, Sociedad Civil Patrimonio, Comunidad y Medio Ambiente SCPCMA to create sustainable improvements in living conditions and mobility for citizens in 3 of Old Havana's vulnerable neighbourhoods, Belén, San Isidro and Jesús María. Through citizen’s participation and involvement of community groups and children in kindergartens and schools the project provides assistance to enhance cycling culture, cycle training and bicycle maintenance. Improved cycling mobility will make better use of time for the citizens and better options for going to work and education by bicycle and will give them tools to improve their living conditions. The Old Havana Planning entity, Oficina del Historiador de Desarrollo Integral de Habana Vieja OHCH is strategic partners in the project and with 10 Cuban cities they will support further development of urban cycling in Cuba
