AIVP on LinkedIn: Programme 2024 (2024)

#AivpWorldConference "𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬"🗓 27-29 November 2024 📍 Lisbon (Portugal)Discover the programme 👉 https://swll.to/zq3kVPiers are the ultimate interface between land and water. They are also the connection between port cities and the planet. Historically, their accessibility was a metaphor for the evolution of the port-city relationship. They changed from being accessible in the past, to gradually become off limits. Fortunately, there is a tendency to give back this access and reopen the piers for the people, inaugurating a new kind of port-city relationship. . But how permeable are these relationships today? What flows are shaping these interactions? How are port cities presenting local answers to global trends? What bridges? And how are ports reopening their piers?

Looking forward to embarking on a transformative journey at #aes24mel where we explore the ancient art of wayfinding in the realm of evaluation. Looking forward to learning ways in which we decode the footprints of evaluation, navigating towards societal and planetary wellbeing. Let's not just discuss the destination but delve into the journey itself—learning, adapting, and evolving our approach for a future of meaningful impact.#aes24mel #evaluation

Got an interesting story to tell about art on BRT? Culturally relevant design? Worked on safety on transit or accessibility in legacy systems? In the 2024 Mpact Transit + Community Conference Call for Speakers, one of the six big questions we’re asking is: How are you solving for quality of life issues? There are many answers – what’s yours? Submit a proposal to be a session speaker at the conference! Start crafting your proposal today: mpactmobility.org/speakers

Highly recommend anyone interested in decarbonisation / Net Zero in construction and real estate goes to this if you can - Jane Anderson has literally written the book (well, thesis...) on EPDs. #netzero #netzerotransition #netzerocarbon #NetZeroNow

Ever wondered how routing algorithms can help us understand and improve accessibility by taking into account hills and gradients? Assessing accessibility means accounting for the different ways we experience our entire urban landscape including walking routes which veer up or down hills.Watch Gala's talk which explores routing algorithms, 20-minute neighbourhoods and hills from #TICTeC2024https://buff.ly/3WUEDUD #WomenInTech #WomenInInnovation #Accessibility #UrbanPlanning #Planning

The title might appear very dry ("Land use and transport planning: DfT Science Advisory Council paper") but there are lots of insights in the piece, many of which we have been discussing recently with our transport planning colleagues. This para in particular was a hot topic in a recent meeting ".... consequence is that most major housing developments require substantial road building and/or junction capacity increases to meet the anticipated increases in car trips and so be approved. These investments are generally hugely expensive (tens to hundreds of millions of pounds). If some fraction of that investment were directed towards high-quality active travel, public transport networks and local community facilities then levels of car use could be substantially reduced and the net community benefits could be much greater."https://lnkd.in/eMzgbrxV

Great piece by the editors at Scientific American today! "Vehicle crashes are among the leading causes of death in the U.S. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can design or redesign streets to make people drive more slowly or to discourage driving altogether. We can invest in better public transit, including subways and buses with dependable, on-time service. And we can change zoning laws to allow denser housing and mixed-use developments, so people can live closer to where they work, attend school or socialize." Article: https://lnkd.in/gdMwp6jJ
