Presentations:
#1. "Place Pulse: Getting to the Heart of Place Insights"
Presenter: Michael Rumbold, GHD
Place Pulse is a GHD program building upon our successful Movement Insights service. Place Pulse, a product of our evolving Future Communities initiative, has developed strategic partnerships with some of the country's most significant data providers, to provide a more complete understanding of human behaviour in any particular location - be it a high street, a stadium or a train station. Not only do we understand the movement patterns of people using these locations, but what they do with their time there. Do certain postcodes spend more time and money there than others? What impact does the closure or opening of a particular anchor have upon usage, dwell and spend? Place Pulse is a powerful tool answering the "so what' question that so often comes to mind when new data insights are provided.
Governments require us to be much smarter with our use of data - there is so much of it out there, we need to get better at harnessing it for the public good. Place Pulse can do this. It can help our clients to provide for their customers in a way that they could not previously do. If all your customers are coming from a few locations, this is powerful information to work with. If people are bypassing your high street to use another one further way, then knowing this gives you the tools to respond. Place Pulse takes the guess work out of the way people use a place.
#2. "Get BusActive – Bus Incentivisation Trial"
Presenter: Dr. Kim Jose, University of Tasmania
The Get BusActive Study is led by The University of Tasmania’s Menzies Institute for Medical Research to understand if increasing bus use can improve physical activity. The study builds on our Trips4Health study that was abandoned due to COVID impacts and has just commenced recruiting its first participants. In this talk Kim will provide an overview of the Get BusActive study and what we hope to learn by undertaking this study.
#3. "Using People Movement Data to assess placemaking efficacy"
Presenter: Nick Veitch, VLC
Understanding and quantifying the place function is a challenging exercise. However, a new and powerful solution to this problem has arrived in the form of People Movement Data. With proper interpretation, this dataset can accurately assess placemaking initiatives in granular detail, and in doing so have a telling hand in both sides of Movement and Place frameworks.
Through two fascinating case studies, we investigate how People Movement Data – looking at how people move through spaces and where they choose to spend their time – can provide key insights that can guide the planning of better cities and spaces.
Following the presentations, please join us in networking with likeminded professionals in the industry. Light catering and beverages are included.
