Marcel Moran

My research interests include urban transportation, the interaction between cities and new technologies (such as shared bike and scooters), and how infrastructure for biking, walking, and transit are distributed across space. I pursue these topics through a range of methods, including the use of GIS, satellite imagery, and on-the-ground observations.
