Community Transport
Design approaches to shared mobility systems that connect communities and improve public transportation experiences.
Community transport encompasses the design of shared mobility infrastructure and services that serve local populations. This includes public transit systems, pedestrian networks, and social spaces within transportation hubs that facilitate movement and connection across urban areas.
The community explores transit design through multiple lenses: creating social infrastructure within commuting experiences, reimagining physical touchpoints like bus stops and transit objects, embedding local identity into transportation networks, and designing for hygiene and comfort in shared spaces. Projects range from wearable transit interventions to architectural approaches that prioritize pedestrian experience and community engagement.
