The minisymposium is organized by Digital Geography Lab. See more of our research here.

This minisymposium focuses on urban accessibility modelling. It is part of the Science workshops on novel and open data sources and approaches to study urban accessibility and mobility -project, which aims to bring together researchers and planners working with urban accessibility and mobility related issues.

Novel data sources have opened new possibilities to study accessibility. This afternoon includes presentations from researchers who use these data sources in their work to understand urban accessibility better and commentaries from planners on their views about the value of new methods and tools for everyday planning and decision making. Day's insights from the presentations are concluded in the panel discussion.

WELCOME!!
