Course Instructor, Human Geography, University of Toronto
Hi, my name is Mischa Young, I am a course instructor in the Human Geography Department at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on emerging transportation technologies and the future mobility – of both goods and individuals – within the urban landscape.

Beyond researching how to leverage new mobility technologies to design more equitable and sustainable cities, I am also an avid cyclist and an urban tree enthusiast!
