GREENTRAVEL: Greener travel environments for all | University of Helsinki

Описание: The GREENTRAVEL project, or Greener Urban Travel Environments for Everyone – From Measured Wellbeing Impacts to Big Data Analytics, explores how the quality of urban travel environments—particularly greenery—affects people’s travel experiences, choices, and wellbeing.

It also investigates how equitably green exposure and related wellbeing impacts are distributed during everyday trips at the urban scale.

It has four objectives: (1) to understand people’s wellbeing and experiences of greenery across seasons; (2) to map urban greenery from the human perspective using street-view images, computer vision, and large language models; (3) to model everyday mobility flows and green exposure during travel at the urban scale using mobile big data and transport flow analysis; and, (4) to identify inequalities in travel greenery exposure and to prioritise greenery interventions to cities.

Using innovative research methods, the project aims to generate new, impactful knowledge at scale on the importance and availability of green urban travel environments and equal access to them. We hope that the results and methods will be useful for planning better cities for all in Europe and beyond.
