In Strategic Design, the exercise of metadesign in order to project a Cyclable City can contribute towards the development of those cities whose transportation infrastructure is less than ideal, if this exercise is viewed through the lens of value-generating social innovation. In this context, a ‘less than ideal infrastructure’ means an urban space in which there is a cycling network which has been adapted to the existing traffic infrastructure, in a manner that is unnatural or imposed. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to project imaginary scenarios for a city whose transportation infrastructure is of the aforementioned type. This article focuses on one of the cycles of methodological movements conducted in the search Challenges for a Cyclable City: A Strategic Design Exercise. The practical implementation of the workshop brought together participants who designed future scenarios for the Cyclable City.
