About Workshop

Methodologies to Quantify Sustainable Transport and Quality of Life (QoL) 

This workshop is designed to explore the critical intersections between sustainable transport and its impact on well-being, health, happiness, livability, equity, accessibility, environmental quality, and disaster resiliency. Participants will engage in discussions on how sustainable transport interventions can enhance the physical, mental, economic, and social health of individuals and communities. This workshop explores the multi-dimensional Transportation Quality of Life Index framework, designed to evaluate the impacts of sustainable transportation interventions on overall quality of life at a network level, using the Bangalore Metropolitan Region as a case study. Additionally, the workshop will examine the developed local QoL index framework, tailored for assessing the effects of pedestrianization, with Church Street in Bengaluru highlighted as a successful example of on-ground implementation. Further, the 3-hour session will also explore the mental wellbeing i.e., hedonic and eudaimonic dimensions as a part of the subjective QoL. Open to all on a first-come, first-served basis, with an additional registration fee. Certificates will be awarded to all participants who successfully complete the workshop. 

Duration: 3-hour workshop
