A map from the future.
My reflections of Murmansk as a bicycle city.
The city is a linear city, with a north-south axis with a distance of approximately 17km, and an east-west axis between 1-4 km. The coastline that runs from north to south has no elevation, and a bicycle route could link the city´s 3 separate district together.
Murmansk is not a dense city, it is oversized compared to the amount of people and trafic, and adding bicycle paths could be easily implemented without disturbing the remaining trafic. The buildings stands separated from each other, and it would be possible to create a more flexible and dynamic infrastructure by adding a diagonal bicycle grid, that runs between the buildings.
