“The workshop is part of modern thinking about urban space. About climate and social challenges. Both officials and transport researchers often overlook pedestrian transport. This is why the workshop & the conclusions developed from it are particularly valuable for building a diagnosis and assessment of the needs of city dwellers, neighbourhoods and local communities.”
-Dr. Jakub Majewski, EUROREG, University of Warsaw

“W jaki sposób poruszasz się po mieście?
Annika Lundkvist, mieszkająca w Warszawie doktorantka IGIPZ PAN (Szkoła Doktorska Anthropos, Polish Academy of Sciences) i założycielka Pedestrian Space, organizuje serię warsztatów, podczas których mieszkańcy Warszawy będą mogli opowiedzieć o tym, jak poruszają się po mieście i dlaczego.
Annika przygotowuje pracę pod kierunkiem dr.hab. Ewy Korcelli-Olejniczak na temat pieszego poruszania się po mieście w kontekście jego zrównoważonego rozwoju i jakości życia. Przy tym Warszawa stanowi tzw. laboratorium, gdzie obserwowane są powyższe zjawiska, w którym dochodzi do konfrontacji różnych grup społecznych i poszukiwane są rozwiązania dla miasta jako takiego.
Warsztaty obejmują prezentację projektu i serię aktywności, które pomogą nam zastanowić się i porozmawiać o podejmowanych przez nas codziennie decyzjach związanych z przemieszczaniem się po Warszawie. W trakcie spotkania będzie można wypełnić ankietę, a także zgłosić się do pogłębionych wywiadów dotyczących poruszania się po mieście. Wydarzenie dostępne w języku polskim i angielskim, ankietę można wypełnić również w języku ukraińskim.”

Post by IGIPZ PAN about April 14th workshop in Ursynów
Talk on April 22, 2023: Walkable Urbanism in the Anthropocene at Green OKO, Ośrodek Kultury Ochota
Description: Shifting the mobility paradigm away from the car-centric mindsets, culture, infrastructural priorities & planning that has dominated in so many societies for the past several decades is one of the most critical challenges we as humans face in mitigating the accelerated damages we have caused during the Anthropocene. This talk will explore the role of walkable urbanism as one of the many solutions we need to centralize in response to diverse problems.
Annika Lundkvist is a PhD student at the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning IGIPZ PAN (Szkoła Doktorska Anthropos, Polish Academy of Sciences) where she researches issues of urban mobility- particularly related to the psychology behind our mobility decisions, our daily mobility habits and the role of walkability in resilient urban development in the 21st century.
