2022 Keynote Speaker

Robin Mazumder, PhD Neuroscientist, on how urban design affects our mental well-being

What if urban planners started viewing themselves as part of a community’s health care team?

Interested in helping design cities that support well-being, equity, and our planet, Robin Mazumder is breaking new ground in the field of environmental neuroscience studying the ways in which people experience stress in urban environments. Mazumder’s work hinges on an important consideration: that not all people experience the built environment and public space in the same way.

How to bring adaptive cycling into your next cycling event

UDOT Presentation + 4 Regional Workshops

First/Last Mile A first or last mile gap is a barrier that discourages potential riders from using public transit because a station cannot be easily accessed from home, work, or other destinations. Improving access starts with creating urban environments with cohesive pedestrian and bicycle networks that are inviting and safe. In 2013 the Utah Transit Authority and the Utah Department of Transportation, with support from the Wasatch Front Regional Council and the Mountainland Association of Governments, initiated and developed this First/Last Mile Strategies Study, which identifies a short list of strategies to prioritize those that would be most effective in increasing system ridership. Join us for a discussion with the project stakeholders and to learn about how your city can bring these improvements to your own community.
