As it gears up to host COP26 to be held Nov 1-12, the city of Glasgow, Scotland, is launching an extensive bicycling project including the creation of a brand new network of bicycle paths. The aim of the municipality is to reduce transport pollution as much as possible and to relieve congestion in the city centre.

Glasgow's new plan aims to promote walking and cycling in the city through the implementation of a far-reaching network of improved, safer pedestrian and cycling routes. It is part of a larger programme called "Liveable Neighbourhoods", which aims to reduce residents' dependence on cars for getting around.
