The Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) is pleased to invite you to our webinar, Transforming Urban Mobility in Phnom Penh on 21 June 2021, from 9:30 to 11:00 AM (Ca...mbodia Time). The newly-released research Transforming Urban Mobility in Phnom Penh goes beyond logistics and transportation infrastructure, instead of putting at its core the needs and perceptions of local citizens and urban experts. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and systemic understanding of the myriad of factors influencing urban mobility in Phnom Penh, associated socio-economic costs, and possible actions to ensure more efficient mobility that can benefit all. The webinar will invite the three research authors, Ph.D. cand. Arnd N. Bätzner, Dr. Veng Kheang PHUN, and Dr. Yat YEN, to present highlights of their research findings and methods to stimulate a conversation with the audience. CKS Director Mr. Natharoun NGO will moderate the discussion. Please note: This webinar is in English. It is free and open to the public.
