Attend this hands-on workshop if you want to learn and share engagement strategies that add value to any project.

Blanka Bracic
Senior Transportation Engineer for the City of Calgary

After 10 years of developing walking and cycling policy, projects and programs as a transportation engineer at The City of Calgary, Canada, Blanka Bracic completed a two-year urban planning degree in Stockholm and Amsterdam in 2017. Her goal is to increase people’s quality of life by offering everyday urban transportation options such as easy, safe, normal and fun walking and cycling. A recent achievement for Bracic was leading the three-year planning of Calgary’s 5.5km downtown cycle track pilot network through political approvals that ended in 2014. She created the monitoring and evaluation program for the pilot project, which was made permanent in December 2016. Bracic knows that the institutional change needed to shift culture toward year-round walking and cycling in cities with low participation is not easy. This process can be slow as well as long-lasting, impactful and rewarding.
