Modacity is a creative agency founded by Canadians authors and mobility advocates Chris and Melissa Bruntlett, with the goal of communicating the benefits of human-scale urban design and active mobility.[1][2][3][4] Modacity has worked with private organizations, non-profits and city governments to enable multimodal activity, including through cycling and walking.[5][6] The agency authors a blog and has published two books on cycling culture and urban design.[7][8][9]
Based in the Netherlands, the Bruntletts moved from Vancouver to Delft in 2019 to adopt a car-free lifestyle.[10][11][12] Modacity has commented extensively on cycling in the Netherlands, including the historical transition of Dutch cities from automobile-centric to expanding cycling infrastructure.[13][14][15] Modacity has subsequently advocated for cities in North America, Europe, and Asia to make policy changes that support urban design changes to facilitate active mobility, create pedestrianized spaces, and adopt low-car design practices.[16][17][18]
