The MetropAccess-project from the University of  Helsinki, and the SNAMUTS (Spatial Network Analysis for Multi-modal Urban Transport Systems) -project from Australia are organizing a summer seminar focusing on the analysis of urban accessibility on Friday the 10th of June at the University of Helsinki, Kumpula Campus. The event will be held in the Exactum-building, room CK112 from 9.30 am until 2 pm. See the preliminary program for the seminar here (only in Finnish).

During the day, we will hear presentations about tools and data for studying multimodal accessibility in the capital region of Helsinki, future scenarios of accessibility, and international comparisons between different urban regions.

The Australian research group SNAMUTS has studied accessibility in 24 city regions. We will hear more about  indicators in their study and results regarding the city region of Helsinki. We will also have a look at the ongoing work in the MetropAccess-project regarging mobile phone data and the modeling of real movement patters of people.

The goal of the both projects is to provide useful information about multimodal accessibility for urban planners. We would like to warmly welcome city planners, consultants researchers and students within this field!
