Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação foi realizada no âmbito do programa de mestrado de Estudos
Interculturais para Negócios do Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do
Porto (ISCAP). Esta dissertação insere-se num contexto de crescente necessidade de transitar
tanto para práticas como para um estilo de vida mais sustentável em espaços urbanos. A
dissertação procura apresentar uma análise detalhada dos conceitos de planeamento urbano
e sustentabilidade na mobilidade, seguindo-se uma análise específica das boas práticas de
um país como os Países Baixos na integração da bicicleta nas suas áreas urbanas. Desta
forma, é possível compreender como Portugal pode melhorar a sua transição para uma
sociedade livre de carbono, através de uma implementação bem sucedida de práticas
verificadas nas cidades holandesas e desenvolver uma cultura da bicicleta. Esta dissertação
foca-se em destacar as ligações históricas portuguesas ao ciclismo e como estas podem
desempenhar um papel crucial no cumprimento dos objectivos de sustentabilidade do país,
bem como fomentar o desenvolvimento cultural das comunidades. Como tal, o investimento
em bicicletas nas áreas urbanas portuguesas, através da implementação das diferentes
estratégias exploradas ao longo desta dissertação, poderá proporcionar grandes
oportunidades culturais, económicas, ambientais e sociais para estas áreas.
