1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 This month on the Mpact podcast we’re joined by Ren Yee of UN Studio at the Mpact Transit + Community conference in Philadelphia.&amp;nbsp; We chat about the cognitive workload of pedestrians and creating safe opportunities for mind wandering and absorbing information. &amp;nbsp; This episode of the Mpact Podcast features a conversation with architect and urban designer Renn Yee, from UN Studio in Amsterdam.&amp;nbsp; We sat down with him at last fall’s Mpact Transit + Community conference in Philadelphia, where he was part of a session on Using Human Behavior to Inform Transit Decisions.&amp;nbsp; On the podcast, he talks about using cognitive mapping tools to understand how people experience transit spaces in order to make them better.&amp;nbsp; We start with a little background about Ren Yee, then get into human-centered design of transit spaces. Along the way you’ll hear about mind wandering, the horn effect, and using virtual reality to pre-design transit spaces.&amp;nbsp; And, heads up: If you’d like to be a speaker at this year’s Mpact Transit + Community conference in Portland, the Call for Speakers opens February 19.&amp;nbsp; For more information on Mpact or the annual conference, visit http://mpactmobility.org The Mpact Podcast (Formerly Railvolution) http://railvolution.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/34878435/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/34878435
