September 26, 2022
The urban development model that has been promoted in most Brazilian cities has historically concentrated opportunities for employment, culture, and leisure in centrally-located areas where wealthier and predominantly White populations live. This model has also been responsible for rampant urban sprawl that continues to support investment in infrastructure that promotes the use of private vehicles, ...Read MoreTo Tackle Climate Change, Cities Need to Rethink Parking
September 20, 2022
It goes without saying that — for every car and vehicle trip — parking is viewed as a necessity from beginning to end. Since the advent of the motor vehicle, the development of parking storage has been made as much of a priority as highway and road infrastructure, perpetuating a ‘car culture’ that exists around ...Read MoreActionable Steps Towards Reclaiming Streets Across Africa
September 1, 2022
The growth of private vehicles in urban areas has, over the years, resulted in a transport planning system that focuses more on private vehicle travel and less on other sustainable modes of transport such as walking, cycling, and public transport. In many African cities where a majority of urban residents walk, cycle, or use public ...Read MoreBetter Together: Rapid Transit and Cycling Networks

The following three safe intersection design approaches not ...Read MoreExploring the Intersection of Race and Mobility in Brazil
August 12, 2022
While wealthier, primarily White people live in the central regions of Brazil’s cities — closer to employment, opportunities, services, and transport networks — the majority of Black and lower-income people live further out with more barriers to everyday commuting. In addition to living farther from key transport systems, Black, brown and low-income Brazilians pay higher ...Read MoreThe Current Fuel Crisis is an Opportunity to Reshape US Cities
July 27, 2022
The first oil shock of 1973 was brought on by social and political forces that exposed the vulnerabilities of a global system overly reliant on fossil fuels and resource-intensive petroleum production. Everyday Americans witnessed the impacts firsthand, faced with skyrocketing gas prices and ripple effects across the economy for years to follow. Parallels can certainly be ...Read MoreCycling’s Gender Gap: Breaking The Cycle of Inequality
July 6, 2022
A critical gender gap exists in cycling — in fact, it is one of the most stark illustrations of gender inequity amongst modes of transportation, and this dynamic persists in city after city. In Kisumu, Kenya, men account for 96% of all cyclists and use cycling for 7% of their trips — in contrast, women in ...Read More
