10th Urban Mobility workshop!

How are you moving today?

I begin all my workshops with this question and for my 10th Urban Mobility workshop with students at the Faculty of Geography & Regional Studies at University of Warsaw we began with all students introducing themselves, their hometowns as well as how they commuted to the university that day.

“The workshop was a great time to discuss issues of urban space & the ways we use it. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only person who sees the issues of walkability in Warsaw.”

Most had come by tram or bus (several had come by both), a few by metro and walking. None of them drove regularly (the majority not at all and had no interest) and it was interesting to hear the majority of them have fierce critique of e-scooters.

It was a truly insightful, dialed-in, very sustainable mobility-minded and observant group of students at the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies at the University of Warsaw, from different programs including ‘Urban Planning’ as well as ‘Spatial Economy and Territorial Foresight’ as well as some individuals who work for the City.

“The workshop was very interesting. There was new knowledge & a lot of interactions.”

Michał Stokowski is storytelling from his mobility desire graph, one of the core activities in my workshops where participants share not only about how they actually commute on a day-to-day basis but also how they would change their mobility routines & habits.

The workshop went 2x’s longer than my standard workshops take! The group had so much insight to share – both personal mobility reflections as well as keen, broader observations on issues of parking, city transit services, walkability issues and more. There was a lot of dialogue and even some great robust debate!

See you again for Workshop part II in late April?

“I loved this workshop. Talking about & sharing experiences of city mobility was a great way to exercise my mind & broaden my knowledge of this topic.”

“The workshops were really engaging. You were so patient with us & you were genuinely into the talk. The methods with the charts were really unconventional! Good luck with your research!
