📘 We’re looking for a Postdoc! 👦🏻🚲👧🏽 I’m happy to share that our team at Utrecht University is looking for a new colleague to join the ACTIVATE project, focusing on children’s active mobility and urban environments. In this position, you’ll study how children and young people move through cities (walking, cycling, and other daily practices) using survey research, walk- and bike-along interviews, and co-creation workshops with schools, municipalities and community partners. The goal is to contribute to more inclusive, healthy and child-friendly urban spaces. 🌍🚸 You’ll be working with our PI, Dea van Lierop, Prof. Dick Ettema, and me at Utrecht University, and collaborating with Juliane Stark, Jonas De Vos, Oriol Marquet, and partners across four European cities. 🟢 More information & application: https://lnkd.in/eU6jHcw7 🚲 About the ACTIVATE project: https://lnkd.in/eXzjS8Bc Feel free to share or get in touch if you’d like to know more!!

Pleased to share our new publication in the 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩.
The paper introduces a multilayered framework that integrates PLOS/BLOS models with the 15-minute city concept. Developed within the CITWIN research project, it supports more holistic and scalable assessments for #walkable and #bikeable cities.

Weird. The article praises informal transport for its flexibility and ability to serve nearly all, before immediately criticizing its "unplanned and unregulated growth."

Car dependency fuels loneliness, while public transport builds community. Shared mobility fosters the human connections that individual car ownership erodes.

Get out of your car if you want to be less lonely

As new research shows evidence that good public transport links are the key to feeling more connected, non-driver Helen Coffey advocates for getting out of our insular metal boxes and into the world

I arrived to Frankfurt without delays 🥳 Since I had some time for my train to Paris, and there were some nextbike bikes to rent, I went off to do some sight/infra-seeing. Unfortunately I must say Frankfurt is now pretty low on my list of cyclable cities 😥 9/n
