Ciclovía Results

The State of Multisolving

• Monetary benefits often exceed costs
• Often less about technological innovation

than about culture change or new connections

• Targeting the most vulnerable also leads to

benefits for all

• A hidden movement: we are missing
• pportunities to learn and build capacity

Common Success Factors

Champions Design for learning and growth over time Community engagement Financing plan or low-cost design Metrics and analysis Strategies to counter resistance to change

How to Support More Multisolving

• Name multisolving as a field of practice
• Support more research
• Support opportunities for learning together, reflection,

capacity building across different types of multisolving

• Expect to start small
