Post-industrial cities worldwide (such as Paris, London, New York and Chicago, but also cities like Beijing) are increasingly opting for compact, multi-purpose constructions and promoting the use of bicycles as a means of transportation.

Its symbolic power will have numerous positive effects on the city: it will act as an incubator for start-ups, fertile ground for innovative ideas, as well as provide connections between local economic, recreational and cultural sites.
