We warmly invite scholars, urban planners, practitioners, NGO’s and organisations from different disciplines to contribute to the conference to share, discuss and challenge research for more inclusive, resilient and just public transport (planning).
The conference builds on existing research around inclusiveness, social sustainability, and transport justice, highlighting three key dimensions: the distribution of access and benefits, the recognition of diverse public transport needs, and the participation in decision-making processes. Through a two-day conference, we will create a platform for the exchange of best practices, experiences, critical reflections and challenges.
Contributions are invited to address the inclusiveness of public transport systems in various urban regions, including both densely populated, peri-urban, and remote areas, possibly from an intersectional perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the integration of micro-mobility with public transport, the role of flexible and on-demand systems, inclusive TOD, and the impact of pricing on transport inclusivity. Additionally, the conference will explore participatory public transport planning, such as urban living labs and other inclusive platforms, to investigate whether and how the diverse needs of different societal groups are met.
Interested participants are invited to submit a proposal for a paper presentation, a short presentation or a workshop*. An abstract of 250-300 words, including the format, should be submitted via the form by Friday, October 18th, 2024. Accepted contributors will be contacted in November to present their work in a conference session**.
*Workshops are allocated time slots of 2 hours. Please include aim, set-up, target audience, and an outline of the activities in the abstract. Workshop organizers are asked to provide all necessary materials
Information, registering, and program can soon be found on the CarinPT website.
