Course & objectives

This master class is a general course covering the essentials of bicycle urbanism and all the elements needed to develop ambitious cycling strategies at home. Immersive learning and experiencing the cycling infrastructure and services are central to our way of teaching, so the city will literally become our classroom. When in the classroom, we incorporate real case studies from cities around the world so participants leave with knowledge and strategies they can implement as soon as they return home. Participants will leave with strong arguments to advocate for the development of cycling mobility and be able to demonstrate how bicycles impact more than just mobility, they fundamentally transform cities at their core.

With so much attention on Paris recently, and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our education program, we will be hosting three editions in Paris in 2025: one in English, one in French, and one in Spanish. Our master classes go far beyond your typical professional training course. Not only are they taught by the talented and experienced Copenhagenize team that knows the ins and outs of Paris, they also feature special guests from the city and the region, as well as other important players in the Paris cycling ecosystem.

• English Edition - May 21-23, 2025
• French Edition - September 24-26, 2025
• Spanish Edition - October 14-16, 2025
