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.

I'm currently working on the first #CIVIS asynchronous course on "Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Sustainable Mobility".
Lots of work. Lots of fun. Lots of excitement.

Peer Review Has Lost Its Human Face. So, What’s Next? - The Scholarly Kitchen

I think human-dependent peer review has lost its human element, thus its relevance, so what we can do to install a new system by abandoning the present one?

👉 #Discovery of the day:
Some of the most fundamental concepts in quantitative #Geography and #GIS were published in the #CATMOG series by the Institute of British Geographers (now part of the #RGS). Unfortunately, these publications are rarely available online, and an increasing number of libraries no longer carry this series.
👏 But thanks to Prof. Mark Green, almost all CATMOG publications are available on GitHub: https://github.com/qmrg/CATMOG/tree/Main

We have a quality issue! Why is it that almost every #review #study contains this conclusion?

"The review found ..., although overall study quality was weak." 🤷‍♂️

How can we increase the integrity, reliability and robustness of our #research?

📚 Geocomputation with Python copies have arrived 🤩

Somehow, things feel much more real if you can touch them.

Fun fact: the cover was designed in #QGIS. Speaking of going full circle ...

How Trump Is Targeting US Transportation Research

Researchers warn of a “chilling environment” as studies examining road safety and other topics are killed off and layoffs hit federal agencies.

#Cars are a #spatial problem!
#Walkability could be easily improved by fixing the small, nasty but ubiquitous issues of daily urban life.
🪄 Reclaiming space that was dedicated to #pedestrians.
