Prof. Jenny Mindell and Dr. Paulo Anciaes received a UCL Santander Research Catalyst Award to visit three South American countries to present the results of the Street Mobility project and meet with local researchers to develop a partnership for future collaboration on the topic of transport and health.
Our colleagues have published a 16-page report of our visit to Chile, with details on our research and how it applies to the case of South American cities. You can download the report here.
