Gender and Mobility
21 June 2022
Author / Speaker

Marianne Weinreich from Rambøll and the Cycling Embassy of Denmark highlighted the main findings of their team's study on gender and mobility in a number of capital cities in Europe. She emphasized that gender is one of the most robust determinants of transport choice and shared some insights from their focus group interviews of women, which revealed common strategies when using public transport due to their fears and experiences of harassment. This underlined the need for safer transport infrastructure, as well as technology's role in making transport and mobility easier and safer.​
