📨 Apply now for a fully funded PhD position between University of Melbourne and Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), as part of the interdisciplinary cross-country graduate school C4Land - Conflicts for Land! 🏡 This PhD project focuses on redistributing mobility spaces in suburbia, taking a nexus-thinking approach to investigate the impact of interventions that aim to avoid and shift individual motorized mobility. Specifically, the project will study the impact of shared autonomous services designed to solve the last mile problem prevalent in suburbia. These services will be studied for their short-term and long-term impact on activity participation, destination and mode choice, and the discovery of rebound effects and other unintended consequences. The project will be supervised by Stephan Winter, Patricia Lavieri, Maike Puhe, and me. ➡️ Find all information here: https://lnkd.in/egvXQsad ➡️ The project website: https://c4land.earth/ Photo: Wikimedia Commons / Philip Mallis

The Disappearance of the Public Bench

Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

New York City Sets Up New Office of Curb Management

The Mamdani administration is seeking to bring curb management into the 21st century — in some cases, policies haven’t changed much since the 1950s. That could mean more parking and different ways to collect trash.
