In the quest for sustainable urban development, Staterra, Arup's new toolkit, can be a game-changer for city planners and policymakers. This innovative active travel modelling tool processes vast data points to illustrate the complexity of preference in people’s movement, revealing not just the most direct paths but also the routes people truly prefer. With Staterra, we can gauge the pulse of our cities by assessing the quality of roads and pathways, pinpointing high-demand areas, and analysing footfall dispersion near key amenities. Staterra’s ability to consume large datasets in building and interpreting networks is essential for planning our sustainable cities of tomorrow. The healthy cities of the future require a mixed-mode approach, and to get more people walking, wheeling, and cycling, we must understand their needs and preferences and design our cities accordingly.

Arup has launched a new tool called Staterra on the Arup website. Cities are complex transport networks with many types of road users and pedestrians sharing the same congested routes. To facilitate more active travel, we need to better understand how pedestrians navigate their way to work, leisure, retail and other amenities. Only then can planners understand where the most attention is needed and where investment in active travel will add the greatest value. Arup developed the Staterra (formerly known as uMove) toolkit to examine urban network quality for active travel as perceived by its users, informing better active travel and placemaking decisions. Discover how Staterra can help you here: https://bit.ly/3W75Q6o Please check it out below and contact my colleagues Adrien Friesen or Brett Little if you are interested to find out more. #wearearup #cities #activetravel #data

A-Z of Transport Economics: M for Mode Shift There is general agreement among transport professionals that encouraging mode shift from motor vehicles to public transport and active travel is A Good Thing. This is because of the benefits this can deliver, including reduced carbon emissions, better air quality and a reduction to highway accidents. The DfT's Transport Analysis Guidance provides values of the benefit, for each vehicle kilometre removed, of each of these types of impact. These are known as 'marginal external costs'. These differ depending on: - The location: are the changes occurring somewhere rural, in an inner conurbation or an other urban location? - The road type: there are some differences depending on whether it is a motorway, A road or other road - The vehicle type, e.g. the environmental benefit per vehicle kilometre removed is greater for large trucks than it is for cars These benefits are therefore relevant for both passenger and freight schemes, and can be included within economic appraisal. To be able to understand more about active travel, Staterra is a very useful new toolkit that Arup has produced - find out more below! #WeAreArup #TransportEconomicsAtoZ #transporteconomics #TPSE #PeopleMovement

Where are you traveling this summer? Do you bring your professional perspective along? This summer, as I traveled with my family through Italy, I couldn't help but observe the unique transportation systems in each city. From Venice to Pompeii to Palermo, every stop offered valuable insights into transportation dynamics. Venice: Venice's blend of water and land transport was remarkable. 🚤 Taking a boat to the airport highlighted the seamless integration of different transport modes. Venice’s wheel-free urban center (no cars, no bikes, not even roller skates) emphasizes the benefits of prioritizing pedestrian mobility. Pompeii: The ancient Roman crosswalks in Pompeii were fascinating. Designed to function even during floods, they still show the marks of chariot wheels. 🏛️These resilient designs remind us of the importance of durable infrastructure. Palermo: Palermo's vibrant and seemingly chaotic streets were a different story. 🛵Scooters, bicycles, and horse-drawn carriages all shared the same small roads, showcasing the challenges and excitement of managing diverse transportation options in a crowded city. Each city offered lessons in transportation ingenuity, blending historical and modern approaches to create adaptable and efficient urban mobility solutions. These experiences enriched my understanding of how diverse strategies can affect urban life quality. 🌿 As we work on developing better transportation systems globally, integrating these lessons can inspire innovative solutions. Have you noticed similar insights during your travels? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences! 💬

When you travel the world with a vehicle, you bring your home with you. But not all homes on wheels offer the same experience. Built with natural materials, the GREENLANDER offers a unique feel that sets it apart from anything else on the market. Imagine traveling and feeling as cozy and familiar as you do in your favorite sweater, surrounded by the warmth and beauty of natural elements, rather than a sterile, impersonal space. Unlike cabins made from glass or carbon fiber, the GREENLANDER blends seamlessly into the natural environment. It belongs there, and so do you. Traveling in synthetic materials can feel like bringing something artificial into nature. With the GREENLANDER, you feel connected to the world around you, as if your mobile home is a part of the landscape itself. It’s an irony that by traveling away, you can become more connected than ever. Thanks to modern technology, the GREENLANDER keeps you in touch with the world, while also allowing you to retreat to calm, remote spaces. In this serene environment, you can reconnect with nature, all within a space whose walls transform into trees and harmonize perfectly with the natural surroundings. #composites #travel #connection GREENLANDER Groupe Depestele

Rethink Urban Housing: Exploring Narrowboat Living in Major Cities Considering alternative housing solutions in expensive metropolises like London, Paris, or New York? Narrowboat living offers a unique and potentially sustainable approach to urban dwelling. Affordability Advantage: Narrowboats can provide significant cost savings compared to traditional apartments, particularly in rent-inflated city centers. Sustainable Benefits: The smaller footprint and potentially lower energy consumption of narrowboats contribute to a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Canal-Side Community: Many canal networks in major cities boast vibrant communities, offering a unique social aspect to narrowboat life. Important Considerations: Compact Living: Narrowboats necessitate a minimalist approach to possessions and living space. Maintenance Needs: Like any vessel, narrowboats require regular upkeep and occasional repairs. Lifestyle Adjustment: Living on water presents a different set of experiences compared to traditional housing. Intrigued by the possibility? Delving deeper into online resources will provide a wealth of information on the realities and potential rewards of narrowboat living. #narrowboatliving #urbanhousing #sustainableliving #alternativelifestyle #PranaBoats #PranaCanal #PranaCanal39

Reviving Urban Life: Lessons from Copenhagen's Strøget Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #1 Strøget is Copenhagen’s famous pedestrian street that over the years has evolved to become the thriving heart of the city. It runs from the City Hall to The King’s New Square – a stretch of 1.1 kilometers. But, when city officials opened the first section in 1962, they met with their fair share of controversy and even received death threats! Traders worried they would lose business. Instead, more people flowed into the area bringing commercial benefit and renewing street life. Over time more sections were added eventually becoming the unique place for urban ‘sojourning’ that it is today. About this series: Over the next 3 months, we'll share curated snapshots of Copenhagen's streets and urban environment. Our goal is to bring more road safety and active travel learnings to Australia/New Zealand. Stay tuned! Before 1962 Copenhagen was a city dominated by cars. Since then, the city has evolved to become one of the most pedestrian and cyclist friendly places in the world. Apart from Australia’s royal connection with Denmark, several Australian cities have been strongly influenced by Danish approaches to urban design. Seeing is believing and the snapshots we’re bringing you provide an opportunity to imagine what is possible.
