Mikael Colville-Andersen (born January 29, 1968 in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada) is a Danish-Canadian urban designer and urban mobility expert.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 On urban cycling. Mikael Colville-Andersen )〕 He is the CEO of Copenhagenize Design Company, which he founded in 2009, and he works with cities and governments around the world in coaching them towards becoming more bicycle friendly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Copenhagenize Design Company client list )〕 He is a sought-after keynote speaker at design and architecture conferences and events around the world on the subjects of urbanism, liveable cities and bicycle history. He is known for his philosophy about simplifying urban planning and urban cycling and how cities should be designed instead of engineered.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bicycle Urbanism by Design from TED x Zurich 2012 )〕 He is at the forefront of utilising observational techniques inspired by the likes of William H. Whyte for pedestrian and bicycle planning and has been called 'The Modern Day Jane Jacobs'. He employs anthropology and sociology in his work to develop liveable cities and, in 2012, he spearheaded the largest study of cyclist behaviour ever undertaken - ''The Choreography of an Urban Intersection'' - tracking the desire lines of 16,631 cyclists through an intersection in Copenhagen over a 12 hour period. His approach and philosophy have led to him being referred to as ''The Richard Dawkins of cycling'' by Peter Walker of The Guardian in 2014 interview with Esquire magazine in the UK, the ''Pope of urban cycling'' by Canadian newspaper La Presse and Austrian newspaper Der Standard, among others and ''the Bieber of urban cycling'' in an interview with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Colville-Andersen has been instrumental in orchestrating the global bicycle boom, starting with what was later called ''The Photo That Launched a Million Bicycles'' in 2006, which led to the Copenhagen Cycle Chic photography and streetstyle blog in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 How Cycling Became Britain's Most Fashionable Sport )〕 Regarding his early work with the Cycle Chic movement, The Guardian dubbed him ''The Sartorialist on Two Wheels''. He coined the phrase Cycle chic in 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 United States Patent and Trademark Office listing for Cycle Chic )〕 as well as the word ''Copenhagenize'' in the same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Australian cities 'playing catch-up' on modern urban planning and bike lanes, Velo-City conference told )〕 He has also coined and popularised other phrases such as ''Bicycle Urbanism'', ''Viking Biking'', ''Citizen Cyclist'' and he started The Slow Bicycle Movement in 2008. Before embarking on a career as an urban designer, he was a film director〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Internet Movie Database for Mikael Colville-Andersen )〕 and screenwriter. His debut feature film, ''Zakka West'' (2003), was the first indie film in Denmark〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Zakka West )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Zakka West (2003) )〕 and premiered at the Copenhagen International Film Festival. He has written and directed several short films, including the award-winning short ''Breaking Up'' (1999) and founded the first pan-European organisation for screenwriters - ''Euroscreenwriters'' - in 1997. As producer for The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) bicentenary website for Hans Christian Andersen, he and his team won the Prix Italia award at the Radiotelevisione Italiana 57th Prix Italia for Best Public Service Website. In 2013 he made appearances in Edinburgh to help celebrate "bike week". In 2014, he was cited as one of the influential urban planners suggesting that radical solutions were needed if improvement was to be seen in respect to congestion problems in the city of York. He has also explained that cycle parking is needed for cities to be cycle-friendly. He was booked as a keynote speaker at the Velo-city Global conference in Adelaide in May 2014. == Exhibitions == * 2008-2010 ''Dreams on Wheels'', international photo exhibition for The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Denmark) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Royal Danish Embassy in Ireland - Dublin Cycle Chic )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Dreams on Wheels: Danish Cycling Culture For Urban Sustainability )〕 * 2011-2013 ''Monumental Motion - A Cycling Life in the Danish Capital'', Global exhibition for Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Denmark)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Danish Presidency of the EU 2012 - Photo exhibition: ‘Monumental Motion – A Cycling Life in the Capital of Denmark’ )〕 * 2010-present ''The Good City - Visions of a City on the Move'', Global exhibition with ''Bicycle Innovation Lab'' - Consultant/Contributor 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Good City - Visions of a City on the Move )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mikael Colville-Andersen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
