RESOLUTION: Resilient Systems for Land Use Transportation

The “RESOLUTION: Resilient Systems for Land Use Transportation” is an ongoing project that focuses on the ways in which the impact of transportation infrastructure in terms of operation and provision leads to social and spatial segregation across major metropolitan regions across the World. My job would be to collaborate with Federal University of ABC to investigate the similarities and differences of segregation patterns between Toronto and São Paulo. Using the data from one city to probe another will be an effective strategy to gain insight, develop solutions and forecast issues for both cities. The findings from this comparative study will be relevant to decision makers and policy analysts in municipal government. I believe that this program hold’s incredible potential for experiential learning that will not only benefit my ability to advance as a research practitioner in my field of study but also in becoming a more inter-culturally competent person.
