#FullHouse @ #RTBSYD

Well done, Jennifer Kent Sydney Architecture, Design and Planning University of Sydney, on pushing the agenda for friendlier ways that improve society's well-being by allowing dogs 🐕 on public transport 🚎🚍🚉🚂🚈⛴️.

#LeadershipForGood also #ThisIsPublicHealth

Getting kids to walk and cycle to school is great, but let's take the focus off weight as a motivator - it's getting us nowhere and it's harming the agenda. My new paper: 'Weight centrism in research on Children's active transport to school' sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very excited to be at Sydney Ideas talking loneliness and built environments tonight with Melody Ding Sydney Architecture, Design and Planning

I've finally been able to log back into this platform. A break has made me realise I really don't like what it stands for and promotes. How bad does it have to get for us all to agree to leave it behind?

#PublicHealth always rests on both structural + individual factors.

Where we are up to researching the links between urban form and physical activity through transport? Check out our review paper based on the d-variable framework @sydney_arch tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Transport research needs to focus more on 'messy' trips - children, load carrying, visiting, caring, connecting...and dogs - these are the things that people travel for. See my recent article on dogs and travel with Corinne Mulley here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Built environments can afford connections which decrease experiences of loneliness. But, as always, there's no one plan, provision or program to suit all - context matters. See our systematic review in Health and Place: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gNq14pqpjtI… @Sydney_Arch

Been troubled by size bias and obesity refrain in transport, planning, public health studies esp. recently while reading some walkability pieces. So glad to see size bias addressed by Jennifer Kent apo.org.au/node/316360

Fantastic myth-busting about qualitative research and subjectivity was a highlight for me at #ATRF2022 from Jennifer Kent

Ever stop to wonder if you see the world of transport through too-narrow a lens? Newest article by Jennifer Kent is a good eye-opener for how many parents navigate the transport system. I particularly enjoyed the concept of 'dwell time of objects'. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Travelling less and travelling differently - two proposals in my new article 'Sustainable Family Transport: A Research Agenda' tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In summary: if we want to support increased work from home in the long term, no need to convince employees, get those employers on board! Read more for free at: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Increased work-from-home is one of the most significant long-term changes to travel behaviour due to COVID19. We used the Transtheoretical Model of behavour change to help predict who will WFH in the long-term; a🧵 Graham Currie Dr Taru Jain Laura Aston
