Prof. Michał Suchanek on Sustainable Transport and Livability
In this short video, Prof. Michał Suchanek from the University of Gdańsk, Poland, shares his perspective on sustainable transport and livability.
For him, livability is closely connected to whether people can meet their daily needs and access important services and opportunities without burdensome journeys or negative impacts on their well-being and the environment.
His central message is that mobility is not an end in itself, but a means to a good life. Rather than measuring mobility by how fast people can travel, cities should consider how little people need to travel in order to live well.
