The Green Mobility City: Tools for Modeling Built Environments at the Pedestrian Scale Andres Sevtsuk Head, City Design and Development Group Associate Professor of Urban Science and Planning, Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP)
The global climate-change crisis, along with public health and economic competitiveness challenges faced by cities worldwide, underscores the urgent need for analytical tools and models to explore the relationship between city design and sustainable mobility. In this presentation, Andres Sevtsuk will introduce the Urban Network Analysis framework, a tool for modeling land-use and transportation interactions at the pedestrian scale. This framework enables planners and policymakers to assess pedestrian access to urban destinations and evaluate the effects of land-use and infrastructure changes on pedestrian mobility. Such analyses empower planners, designers, and policymakers to prioritize projects that enhance sustainable mobility outcomes.
