How can we plan & design our cities inclusive & enjoyable for ALL? At @aalborguni, we attended a PhD course on “The Anatomy of Mobility Justice”, led by @OleBJensen3 & @MimiSheller. Thanks for inspiring us to continue the mission of our Group on Mobility Justice at @TU_Muenchen.

Welcoming guest researcher @jedwinmok from @UofT! His research focuses on multimodal access in transit networks. More recently, his fellowship thesis used a global lens to analyze disparities in transit infrastructure construction costs. Looking forward to more collaboration🔥
