Copenhagenization is the bicycle's equivalent of walkability, where transportation is focused on cycling and pedestrianism, rather than car transport. This is achieved through the implementation of better bike and walking infrastructure.
The term was coined by Danish urban design consultant Jan Gehl, who, over decades, studied how public urban spaces worked, and advised cities across the world on improving the quality of urban life.
This is an interesting blog that focuses on European bike culture that I found in a roundabout way through my research into walkability. I wish Rob Ford would get the memo.
