Between spring 2022 and spring 2025, the partners of Carin-PT are exploring public transport infrastructure and the built environment in relation to justice, equity and fairness. The project aims to provide theoretical and empirical understandings of how (through what mechanisms) costs and benefits of transition of PT are and will be distributed, amongst whom (which social groups and individuals) and where (which parts of the city and which kinds of built environments).
The findings of the projects will be presented towards the scientific community, the policy making realm, and anyone interested in the topics, in a final conference.
The final conference will take place on 6th and 7th of February, 2025, at VUB-Usquare, Brussels.
