Can mobility policy refund local democracy ? Valencia, corruption epicentre to Mediterranean bicycle capital

Nacima Baron

Résumé

In Valencia, tactical urbanism is being used to put sustainable mobilities on the local agenda. This mobility paradigm justifies and embodies a change in municipal policy and politics after a decade of crisis and decline. Sustainable mobilities projects materialize and spatialise, in various ways, democratic values into public space. The article therefore studies the strategies employed to mark the urban territory with green mobility infrastructures (part 1); it reveals the construction of a discursive space that polarises local debates (part 2); it describes the symbolic reintegration of Valencia into a network of model cities (part 3). Ultimately, this agenda recycles urban ambitions and reflect political change effected in and by space. The results of this investigation is that such strategy doesn't create an effective mediterranean model of the cycle-friendly city, because it doesn't modify the structural organisation of space or the social representations that underpin current mobility practices (part 4).
