«Bogota remains an inspirational and informative example of how investments in sustainable mobility can improve the quality-of-life, and people around the world are keen to see what projects the city delivers in the coming years,» says Chris Morfas, Senior Advisor to Despacio.

Last month, Chris spoke to transit, bicycling, and walking planners and advocates at three gatherings in the United States. He presented at the international perspectives panel at the Designing Cities 2015 conference in Austin, Texas, hosted by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO).
