Project Abstract
Since the 1960�s development patterns changed to a more suburban car-based approach for street and neighbourhood design. As we moved to this more suburban design, our university campuses followed suit and now we have challenges which include the social health of students and transport poverty (financial costs and time costs) due to long commute times and limited public transport options for commuting to campuses. Using TU Dublin's three campus location's, this transdisciplinary project will draw on an existing network of Irish stakeholders on walkability and liveability, the three local authorities, the university community and surrounding communities to co-create a programme of action to improve the walkability of the campuses and their surrounds. Gender, sexual orientation, ability and ethnicity all also play a role on how safe and secure people feel when using various transport modes or spending time in places so an intersectional approach will be taken. Finding opportunities to improve suburban campuses can have opportunities for transferability of good practice to other campus settings improving access to employment and healthcare. A citizen science air quality study will run across all locations alongside the co-creation of actions for each campus location. Physical, mental, social and planetary health are all considered.
