■ CONTEXT
■ CONTEXT
While cycling increases, physical protection for cyclists remains inadequate. Unprotected bike lanes, parked vehicles, and “dooring” risks persist. Research shows protected bike lanes increase cycling 75% and reduce accidents 90%.

■ DESIGN APPROACH
■ DESIGN APPROACH
A citizen-participatory design experiment: 1:1 scale temporary protected bike lane simulation on a 500m section of Teheran-ro (2 weeks), four Saturday design workshops (320 participants), online idea voting platform (1,847 votes), and 3D visualization of citizen proposals. All participants received “PuDis (Public Designer)” certification.
■ SOCIAL INNOVATION
■ SOCIAL INNOVATION
Democratizing urban design by transferring design authority from experts to citizens. The Living Lab methodology—temporary installation → experience → feedback → improvement—transforms citizens from passive users to active co-designers. The resulting policy proposal was submitted to the district government for implementation review.
