Free, open and participatory planning tools are now feasible and in use (albeit with limited geographic scope and/or functionality). This talk will explore how such tools could help support effective vision-building and interventions to enable cycling uptake. Building on insights from prior projects, it will outline key features of effective open tools for cycle planning and attempt to identify the barriers than need to be overcome for an international community of practice in this area to become a reality. The aim is not to present solutions but start conversations that could lead to movement towards such a community of practice.
