Hoai Anh Tran’s research looks into the relationship between mobility and the physical environment. The research focuses on the role of the bus stops and bus shelters (their materiality and designs) in the shaping of travel behaviors from the perspective of bus users. The starting point of the research is the view to consider transport infrastructure in general and bus infrastructure specifically, as part of the city’s social structure and a key component of the city’s spatial qualities. Hoai Anh Tran is an affiliated researcher at K2 and university lecturer at Malmö University.
