Four presentations connected to the DUT-COLINE project showcased the latest research on urban mobility, accessibility, and spatial inequalities at the GeoInno 2026 – 8th Geography of Innovation Conference held at Corvinus University of Budapest in January 2026. 

In the first session, Gergő Pintér explored the role of public transport within the 15-minute city framework, highlighting how effective transit networks can increase access to everyday amenities. He also emphasised that local, fine-grained connections remain essential in suburban and peri-urban areas, where enhanced accessibility supports inclusive neighbourhoods and social mixing.

Building on this, Zsófia Zádor presented “Bike sharing the way towards a more efficient multimodal transport system”, outlining how and where bike-sharing services can strengthen accessibility and complement existing mobility options, particularly in dense urban settings.

In a second session, Gergő Pintér returned with “Barriers of Urban Mobility”, showing how physical infrastructure and administrative boundaries can shape travel behaviour within cities. His findings revealed that such barriers influence people’s movement and accessibility differently across urban and metropolitan zones, underlining the spatial inequalities inherent in urban mobility.

Finally, Zsófia Zádor addressed the spatial and social dimensions of teleworking. Her talk examined how remote work transforms mobility patterns by combining home and workplace locations, reducing commuting needs but also creating uneven opportunities for social interaction. Importantly, she noted that teleworking access varies by industry and socio-economic group, with implications for equity and inclusion in urban life.

These contributions illustrate how DUT-COLINE research connects data-driven analysis with real-world challenges in urban transitions — from public transport and active mobility to the effects of work-from-home trends — reaffirming the project’s commitment to understanding and shaping more liveable, equitable, and accessible cities.
