| INHERIT Perspective |
This app has been chosen because it has a clear win-win potential that may turn into triple win. From an environmental perspective, it motivates a switch from car to cycling for daily commuting and reduces emissions, noise and congestion. From a health perspective, it promotes regular physical activity thus contributing to healthier lifestyle, reduces morbidity and premature mortality risks. The social perspective is somewhat less pronounced but cycling is one of the most affordable transport means, and a well-designed and clear app may help users overcome perceived barriers of urban cycling, e.g. by means of route planning and navigation, or community experience sharing. |
