#FullHouse @ #RTBSYD Well done, Jennifer Kent @Sydney_ADP @Sydney_Uni, on pushing the agenda for friendlier ways that improve society's well-being by allowing dogs 🐕 on public transport 🚎🚍🚉🚂🚈⛴️. #LeadershipForGood also #ThisIsPublicHealth

Over 40% of Sydney households own a dog – but travelling with them on public transport is illegal. At Raising the Bar on 9 April learn more about how outdated transport policy perpetuates car dependence with Dr Jennifer Kent. Register for free: ow.ly/SG6a50R814X #RTBSYD



Getting kids to walk and cycle to school is great, but let's take the focus off weight as a motivator - it's getting us nowhere and it's harming the agenda. My new paper: "Weight centrism in research on Children's active transport to school" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Very excited to be at Sydney Ideas talking loneliness and built environments tonight with @DrMelodyDing @Sydney_ADP


I've finally been able to log back into this platform. A break has made me realise I really don't like what it stands for and promotes. How bad does it have to get for us all to agree to leave it behind?


#PublicHealth always rests on both structural + individual factors. Learn what this means for reducing #loneliness via #UrbanPlanning in our Conversation piece bit.ly/3HsOfxV Or dive into the #research! bit.ly/3H3OP5j @Sydney_Arch


Where we are up to researching the links between urban form and physical activity through transport? Check out our review paper based on the d-variable framework @sydney_arch tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Several years in the making - read our #systematicreview exploring the contexts where the built environment can prevent loneliness. With @jenniferleekent @BrainsOnNature @rpatulny and non-tweeters! @TheMatilda_USyd @FestUrbanism

Built environments can afford connections which decrease experiences of loneliness. But, as always, there's no one plan, provision or program to suit all - context matters. See our systematic review in Health and Place: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gNq14pqpjtI… @Sydney_Arch



Transport research needs to focus more on "messy" trips - children, load carrying, visiting, caring, connecting...and dogs - these are the things that people travel for. See my recent article on dogs and travel with Corinne Mulley here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Calling transport professionals! We need your help to understand how transport policies and initiatives have shifted in response to the COVID19 pandemic. Please (please) complete our 15 min survey: sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3C… Led by @Sydney_Uni & @ANUPopHealth with @TransportforNSW

Been troubled by size bias and obesity refrain in transport, planning, public health studies esp. recently while reading some walkability pieces. So glad to see size bias addressed by @jenniferleekent apo.org.au/node/316360

Fantastic myth-busting about qualitative research and subjectivity was a highlight for me at #ATRF2022 from @jenniferleekent

Ever stop to wonder if you see the world of transport through too-narrow a lens? Newest article by @jenniferleekent is a good eye-opener for how many parents navigate the transport system. I particularly enjoyed the concept of 'dwell time of objects'. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In summary: if we want to support increased work from home in the long term, no need to convince employees, get those employers on board! Read more for free at: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Increased work-from-home is one of the most significant long-term changes to travel behaviour due to COVID19. We used the Transtheoretical Model of behavour change to help predict who will WFH in the long-term; a🧵 @GrahamCurrie1 @TaruJain16 @laura_aston

And we replied @LancetGH - Public Health 101 - we need comprehensive global surveillance systems to benchmark and monitor progress towards creating healthy and sustainable cities @fiona_bull @WHO @DrMelanieLowe @gboeing @DebSalvoD @DrHinckson thelancet.com/journals/langl…


Are you also wondering whether our obsession with metrics is holding us back from implementing healthy and sustainable transport and cities? Check out our new piece in The Lancet: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S22… @Sydney_Arch
