Happy Thursday to everyone – the week is coming to an end & I am absolutely buzzing because I have a friend fly over on the weekend and we’ll go cycle around Scotland a little (photos to follow in the next blog post) + it’s well sunny in Edinburgh today so I have decided to […]

During these two weeks, I have been focused on the course Data and Design for a Post-Covid City, and our group has been mainly discussing the topic of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and the obstacles it currently faces from the perspective of stakeholders. MaaS aims to fully integrate existing transportation services and provide users […]

By analyzing data on travel patterns, urban planners and designers can identify areas where infrastructure improvements are needed to make walking and […]

Here it comes another end of a week. I’m complaining about how time passed quickly again but feeling a bit guilty this time. I confess I didn’t progress my project plan this week, but I did enjoy this week. During the last two weeks, I was trying to make a quick escape from the assessments […]
