Professor in Urban Mobility Futures, University of Amsterdam
Professor in Urban Mobility Futures, at the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research of the University of Amsterdam. Specialized in the integration between land use and mobility and the use of knowledge in strategy- and decision making. As Chairman of the Board of the Urban Cycling Institute I support research on how cycling is linked to phenomena in the social and spatial environment. As founding academic director of the Lab of Thought I critically study the narratives we use to think about mobility (futures) and constructively look for alternative narratives.
