Social Applications: Opportunities and challenges for transport planning
Keynote speech by Andrew Nash
Andrew Nash is a transport and urban planner specialised in the use of games, social media and crowd sourcing. His current projects include Grr-Grr-Bike, a smart phone game designed to encourage people to get involved in urban bicycle planning and advocacy, and GreenCityStreets.com, a project that combines an online game with a wiki-based best practices website to educate people about public transport operations and a Facebook-based crowdsourcing platform. Nash has presented his work at many technical and non-technical audiences.
The presentation will provide an overview of key social applications that can be used to help improve transport and urban sustainability. As part of the overview, the opportunities for and challenges with using these applications will be highlighted and concrete ideas for using applications developed. The presentation will close with questions and answers.
