Background
Biography
Amanda Bishop is a MSc Geography candidate at the University of Calgary. Walking is her favorite mode of transit, but while at it, she’s constantly distracted by the lack of space pedestrians receive in our cityscapes. Therefore, Amanda’s dedicated her research to understanding the pedestrian experience from the pedestrian perspective – the joys, ills, and barriers of walking, especially for adults over 64 – in hopes that she can find the keys to improving active transit through urban policy, design, and planning.
