Research interests and activities
Ed is a Research Fellow at the New Zealand Centre for Sustainable Cities. His research explores relationships between transport, urban development and the environment, and how these interact with health, equity and wellbeing.
Ed has recently completed a PhD exploring the impact of the New Zealand transport system on health and equity and is working across both the transport and community formation strands of the MBIE-funded Public Housing and Urban Regeneration Research Programme.
Ed has recently completed work on two University of Otago Research Grants to model the future health impact of transport in New Zealand and to estimate the health and environmental effects of fully subsidised public transport.
He is also involved in research on greenspace and community gardens and incorporates theories and methods from economics, behavioural psychology, social ecological systems and geographic information systems into his research.
