Canberra City Plan
The Better Cities Group worked closely with sector leading micromobility organisation, Beam to develop a city plan for the implementation of an e-scooter hire program in Canberra. This included regional analysis focused on themes including employment centres, tourism, recreation and transport infrastructure. It also included the development of a robust public domain strategy to ensure the roll out minimised clutter in the public realm and that there would be strong community and political support in the roll out.
Micromobility (eg. e-scooters and e-bikes) is an area of rapid expansion across Australia and significant innovations over the last couple of years are mitigating many of the issues previously raised as issues such as safety and footpath clutter.
