What can other European cities learn from Barcelona’s weekend open streets programme? Some thoughts in this short article 👇

How have noise levels 🛵🔊 changed following the pedestrianisation of Barcelona’s new green axes? - ✅  In our new article at @CitiesxHealth with @xavidelclos, we find a consistent reduction of street noise for all study locations (-3.1 dB on average📉). tandfonline.com/eprint/JC8TC…

🕙 Largest noise reductions during daytime/weekdays, smallest during evening/weekends Overall, these results disprove fears that traffic noise may be offset by increased noise from outdoor recreation 🗣️🗣️. However, noise levels still remain above WHO/EU recommended thresholds 🔴

Using open data from seven permanent noise monitoring stations, our study assesses changes in street-level noise following the pedestrianisation of Barcelona’s new ‘green axes’ in 2023. We find tha...

Com varien els límits de velocitat entre diferents barris de BCN? El meu nou article mostra que els límits de velocitat mitjans són molt més alts a alguns barris que altres👇

Hi ha una relació significativa entre límits de velocitat mitjans i taxa de motorització a nivell de barri. Tot i així, hi ha alguns barris amb baixa motorització però velocitats altes que a priori s'haurien de considerar com a prioritaris de cara a pacificació de trànsit

Does that mean it will start emotionally questioning the value of its job, regretting every choice that brought them there, and stressing about its future?

Està justificada la percepció que els carrils bici bidireccionals ↔️a BCN són més perillosos que els unidireccionals➡️? És un tema delicat, però el meu nou estudi📊suggereix que NO hi ha cap evidència que ho demostri @elperiodico_cat @UABBarcelona elperiodico.cat/ca/barcelona…

Aval de la UAB a la seguretat del carril bici bidireccional

Un estudi compara els índexs de sinistralitat i l’ocupació dels vials i dona com a resultat que hi ha més accidents als carrils d’una sola direcció.

Al final, el més important de cara a reduir l’accidentalitat ciclista no és si un carril bici és bidireccional o no, sinó si es tracta d’un disseny ben pensat i executat, que no contingui “nyaps” evidents des de la perspectiva de la circulació ciclista

Is the common perception that Barcelona's two-way ↔️bike lanes are more dangerous that one-way ➡️ ones justified? My latest research article suggests that probably NOT: findingspress.org/article/13…

Are Two-way Bike Lanes Really More Dangerous? | Published in Findings

➼ While one-way bike lanes may often be preferable, municipal governments should not oppose two-way bike lanes on principle. ➼ Especially in cities dominated by one-way streets like Barcelona, two-way bike lanes can significantly enhance network connectivity.

➼ Ultimately, both one-way and two-way bike lanes can be equally safe/dangerous. What REALLY matters are specific design characteristics (e.g. intersections, width, separation)

📢📄New study where we examine cruise passengers' walking behavior in Barcelona using GPS tracking data, as part of the #VISITMOB project.🌍 Open access publication here: 🔗 shorturl.at/eiHKG #CruiseTourism #Walkability #UrbanMobility #TourismResearch
New paper entitled 'Stepping on the beaten track? Walking behavior and profiles of cruise passengers in Barcelona'. Abstract: Cuise tourism is growing worldwide, accompanied by increasing scrutiny of its impacts. We examine walking behavior of cruise passengers, given the predominance of this means of transportation when exploring cities among this group of visitors. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) and survey data from 793 passengers in Barcelona (Spain). We found that cruise passengers allocate half of their visit time to walking, underscoring the pivotal role of walking in their urban exploration. We identified five distinct walking profiles among cruise passengers, and observed variations in perceptions, including sensitivity to factors like heat, availability of benches for resting, and feeling of crowdedness at visited places. Our study provides valuable insights for urban planners, tourism authorities, and policymakers...
