Unveiling the Impact of Digital Trackers on Daily Activity
Madrid, 13th June 2024
This will be the first activity we will carry out during the year 2024 at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). In it, we will discover the influence of digital trackers on improving active mobility in society. The activity has been divided into several phases.
- First Phase – This phase will consist of a series of presentations, during which collaborating professors will discuss active mobility and its consequences from different perspectives. At the end of this first phase, students will receive their digital trackers.
The activity took place on Thursday, 13 of June at the ETSAM (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid, UPM). There were lectures given by speakers coming from UPM university, such as “Delivering healthier cities. Methods and practices” by Ester Higueras (ETSAM), “Fostering active mobility to archieve more equitable and healthier cities” by Andrea Alonso (ETSAM), “Walking and public transport: A perfect pairing for sustainable urban living” by Cristina López (ETSICCP) and “Road Traffic, emissions and urban air quality: Tools for evaluation and monitoring” by Juan Manuel de Andrés (ETSII).
Finally, digital trackers were given to the students, which will allow them to complete the challenges proposed during the upcoming phases.
