How to plan the next bike sharing system embedded to a multimodal transportation infrastructure that is a flexible infrastructure that enhance the sense of community and respect the environment? We present ØkoBici a community-bike-sharing system related to public transportation multimodality, ready for post-carbon cities.  It’s based on user-oriented strategy and ubiquitous computing system developed on an interactive map-based platform. Technologies and mobile devices have an active role in representing urban space, create mixed virtual and real communities, help management of public transportation and bikes sharing, monitor use and problems related to the services.

In this illustrated paper session we will detail how this project could change the public space and mobility in the city of Copenhagen, as well its small business economy and tourism. The project has been developed in the frame of the urban prize promoted by the municipality, involving private companies, as Abici, a stylish Italian bike designer to offer new. We will point out especially how ubiquitous computing and user-generated data produce reliable information on transportation and public space use, allowing light urbanism devices to be easily reconfigured in the urban spaces. Public space today change faster and adapt do different lifestyle, biopolitical process and socio-eco urban configuration (due to high-mobility). Tactical design of transportation system Is required to meet the need of the XXI century post-carbon city.
