According to psychological theories of environmental affect, the physical environment moderates the walking experience and its psychological wellbeing benefits. The present paper further demonstrates that affective experiences also influence intentio... Read More about Affective experiences of built environments and the promotion of urban walking.

User decision-making in transitions to electrified, autonomous, shared or reduced mobility (2019)
Journal Article
Whittle, C., Whitmarsh, L., Hagger, P., Morgan, P., & Parkhurst, G. (2019). User decision-making in transitions to electrified, autonomous, shared or reduced mobility. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 71, 302-319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2018.12.014

Mobility affords a range of benefits, but there are environmental, social and economic problems associated with current transport systems. Innovations to address these issues include novel technologies (e.g., electric and autonomous vehicles; EVs, AV...
