Description of the initiative
The event, which will be held from 16 to 19 July 2024, is divided into two phases: a workshop led by Andres Sevtsuk, Associate Professor of Urban Science and Planning and Head of the City Design and Development Group at MIT in Boston, and a round table.
- The workshop will introduce participants to the concepts of modeling pedestrian flows on street networks using the spatial analysis tools of the UNA toolbox in Rhinoceros 3D. The workshop will describe the capabilities and application areas of UNA tools in walkability planning and design, provide practical tutorials on the different features of the software, and introduce participants to training exercises using different datasets. Participants will examine how built environments produce pedestrian mobility and how changes in built environments can alter pedestrian mobility, with applications in urban design, architecture, urban planning, and sustainable mobility.
- The round table will offer a debate on useful tools for measuring the quality of cycle-pedestrian paths and their role in guiding policies for inclusive and sustainable mobility.
