Justin Lee, Initiative Director, Bike Commute Malaysia

Bike Commute Malaysia (BCMY) is a grassroots NGO made up of architects, commuter cyclists, and urbanists, advocating for safer street design and low carbon mobility across Malaysia. The group aims to make streets more equitable and inclusive to serve the needs of diverse mobility modes.

Earlier this year, they embarked on a project that's meant to make streets around school safer. The pilot project was implemented in SK Danau Kota 2, in collaboration with DBKL and the Global Designing Cities Initiative under the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety.

Initiative director Justin Lee shares how BCMY is making an impact through their well-received road safety pilot project, how they're advocating for Malaysian changemakers and the public to reimagine our streets so they can be friendlier for all, and how creating safer streets starts with design.
