Prof. Knöll presents at Nature & Health conference 2021
Conference: October 12-14, 2021 Tacoma, University of Washington

Prof. Martin Knöll will be part of an expert panel on "Rethinking Mobility After Covid-19: Healthier, Greener, Urban Spaces“ at this years virtual event of the Nature & Health Conference.
The UHG research group has recently published a study on findings before and during a year-long closure of an arterial street at the Frankfurt riverfront that coincided with COVID-19 including 30% more cyclists, 1175% more children cycling independently and 20% more pedestrians with mobility restrictions.
Together with Prof. Jenny Roe (University of Virginia) and Prof. Sara J. Carr (North Eastern University), Prof. Knöll will identify implications of current research to advance COVID-19 driven changes in urban design for active travel and improved health, including the opportunities for unused streets and parking lots to create healthier, greener, public spaces.
