Our new study surprised us:

Passing through green/blue spaces didn’t immediately boost happiness or reduce stress.

But walking, running, and cycling did improve momentary wellbeing, even without greener routes.

UK-based study, so context matters.

🚨 New Publication in Nature! 🚨
I propose a simple but radical idea: add a “Speculation Box” to research papers.

A space for bold interpretations + daring ideas — clearly marked as speculation, not evidence.

🚨 New paper out! 🚨

We tracked 587 workers and found that trip-level walkability and transit access matter much more for CO₂ emissions than home or work location alone.

🏡 Improving just residential walkability isn’t enough.

Have you ever found out after your GPS tracking study that someone had already collected similar data?

Or struggled to find collaborators?
Or wanted to do longitudinal work but couldn’t access older datasets?

We’ve been there. That’s why we created OpenGPS. 🧵

🚨 New Paper Alert!

Can AI understand urban attractiveness as humans do?

Our latest study compares ChatGPT's ratings of urban environments in Helsinki to those of human participants. The results are eye-opening for urban planners.
