Very excited to share I've had my first journal paper published (with @CaRobson and @AlistairCFord) on identifiying #LTNs using #opendata.
We show our methods to locate where existing LTNs are across cities using measureable features of every neighbourhood (cont.)
Latest published research on low traffic neighbourhoods from Cohort 3 CDT student Chris Larkin and supervisors. Nice work, Chris!

This allows us to identify where already is, where are close to becoming and where is currently lacking in low traffic zones. This can be seen through webmaps which also highlight the features which make a given neighbourhood more or less "LTN like"

Had the most wonderful time working on all things cycle networks and superblocks related with the fabulous people at NERDS, ITU. Very excited to share the outputs of our collaboration in the near future!

The talk by @_Chris_Larkin on his PhD work to develop an open-source approach to mapping LTNs was well-received, with some rich disucssions and suggestions for improvement. Here's an example of his outputs for Zurich if you'd like to explore!

Excited to be at @ETH for the 8th Cycling Research Board Annual Meeting. Looking forward to hearing from world-leading cycle researchers (and giving a talk myself, although world-leading qualities may or may not be present) #CRBAM2024

After a fantastic week in the field, we're back on campus and about to hear from our students. Thanks to all of our colleagues for contributing to a fantastic week @VindolandaTrust @nationaltrust @LeicaGeo_UKI
We're starting our session with a keynote talk from Fabio on GeoAI
Thanks to everyone who came along to my #gisruk2024 talk yesterday 😊 had some great discussions and feedback afterwards 👍 You can find more info on my GitHub page about the project and play around with some examples:

Kicking off GISRUK 2024 at Leeds! Excited for the rest of the week up coming. I'll be presenting my work on #LTNs in the first session on Greener Neighbourhoods later today #gisruk2024 – at Leeds, England

The notebook uses #pythonprogramming and #OpenStreetMap data to identify neighbourhoods and explore the impact of modal filters on the walking, cycling, and car networks in them. Can be run anywhere in the world! Cutting-edge skills for real world problems for our graduates! 2/2

I'm really lucky to work with such talented students in our @GeospatialCDT and share their knowledge with @GeospatialNCL undergraduates. @_Chris_Larkin has developed this amazing practical for our Stage 3 students using open data and #opensource tools. 1/2

There are still a large number of barriers (i.e. on almost every crossing over the A1) that discriminate against anyone with a disability, or riding a cargo bike. All cycle infrastructure should be designed inclusively. My PhD student @_Chris_Larkin mapped barriers in his MRes.
Appalling that this North Tyneside cyclist needs to start legal action to demand the removal of discriminatory barriers on NCN72 (northern River Tyne route) - and this is just one of many such barriers & other obstacles that exclude local disabled cyclists

That's a wrap, great event brilliantly organised by our Cohort 3 students, Chris, Phil & Rachel. In just 9 days we start with Cohort 5!

Kicking off day 1 of our Annual Assembly with a review of student and CDT activities over the past 12 months.
Moving house in style over this past weekend (all be it quite slowly!)
Segregated bike path along Heaton Road making the whole experience far less stressful, particularly when towing dubiously wobbly loads 😶🌫️

#ICYMI We asked PhD students at @GeospatialCDT to use our #opensource tooling #b6, in their #Challenge Week.
Hear how they used #b6 to explore #amenity gaps in #Liverpool for the challenge around the #15-minutecity concept in this guest blog

It was great working with @diagonalworks during this year's @GeospatialCDT 's Challenge Week! They've been kind enough to ask us to reflect on our (cc @_Chris_Larkin @RSanderson96 @SophieJMann @ChristelowSam) experience in this blog 👇👇👇

It has been great to see how @GeospatialCDT teams' creative analysis, methodology and thinking around urban environments translated into insight. And to see how our #opensource tooling #b6 can be utilised.
