Daily mobility patterns vary across regions but share key similarities, shaped by spatial, social, economic, and cultural factors. Mobility can be seen as a โcultureโ in itself, and in Europe, this culture is currently undergoing significant evolution. The Horizon 2020 project REBALANCE, involving six participants from six European countries until 2022, sought to explore the values and culture...

To influence the formation of alternative trajectories for socially and environmentally just futures, transport and urban planners must challenge the status quo. To achieve this, they must actively facilitate a โcultural reformโ by bringing in new insights, knowledges, new narratives and new discourses with a commanding presence. However, the currently dominant ontologies, epistemologies,...

Planetary crises of climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic inequalities are being accelerated by urbanisation patterns prioritising economic growth over ecological sustainability and social justice. A prominent example of such a phenomenon in the Czech Republic (and the whole Central Europe region) is suburbanisation, a long-ignored problem attributed to the idea of...

The global crises of climate change, resource scarcity, and public health have profoundly reshaped the operational logic of urban spaces and the spatiotemporal patterns of transportation networks. Urban mobility systems must not only adhere to sustainability goals but also enhance resilience to uncertainty. In China, severe mismatches in the supply and demand of public transportation persist,...

Planning liveable cities involves acknowledging that experiences in the public space are shaped by oppressions and privileges, such as those associated with gender and sexuality. By adopting a feminist and queer perspective, we investigate how sexual diversity affects mobility and, consequently, the access to the city and the well-being of LGBTIQ+ people. Central to this work is the...
