Hannah Hook

Hannah Hook (Belgium), board member of the EIT Urban Mobility Alumni Network, developed a community-led workshop activity that invites underrepresented groups into the city planning process. It challenges dominant, car-centric planning models and promotes more welcoming urban spaces by weaving in important everyday wellbeing, safety, play and autonomy. The project was made possible through peer exchange, mentorship and feedback from the EIT Urban Mobility Doctoral Training Network (DTN). 

Joining the EIT Urban Mobility DTN during my PhD gave me more than access to resources – it also gave me a collaborative and international platform where I was able to shape my research in direct dialogue with practitioners, peers and policymakers.
