Making 15-Minute Cities Work: Sustainable Mobility, AI and Impact Evaluation

Associate Professor at Dalarna University

Stockholm, Sweden

About

I am interested in joining or helping build a consortium for the DUT2026 15-minute City topics, especially projects that aim to move from vision to measurable implementation.

My main expertise is in sustainable mobility, system-level evaluation, and AI/ML-based modelling. I am particularly interested in how cities can improve everyday access, neighbourhood-scale mobility, local service provision, and inclusive urban transformation through better use of data, modelling, and impact assessment.

I can contribute to a consortium through:

  • sustainable mobility analysis;

  • accessibility and mobility-pattern assessment;

  • AI/ML-based modelling;

  • system-level impact evaluation;

  • scenario development and policy assessment;

  • data-driven support for living labs or case studies;

  • proposal development and stakeholder engagement.

I am especially interested in projects connecting mobility, neighbourhood economies, digitalisation, logistics, local services, and inclusive access to everyday urban life. We also have contacts with local municipalities in Sweden and are open to supporting case-study development or comparative European collaboration.

Please feel free to contact me xzh@du.se if you are preparing a DUT2026 15mC proposal and are looking for partners with expertise in sustainable mobility, modelling, and evaluation.
