Anastasia Soukhov @soukhova.bsky.social · 05/06/2025A preprint ☀️ forming the foundation of my PhD dissertation. It traces how accessibility, the “potential” to spatially interact, relates to spatial interaction modelling. It also outlines how constants from this oh-so-related field can be folded into accessibility to yield interpretable units! 031

Disabled Ontarians are among those most impacted by Ontario's failure to build accessible housing, ensure full rent control, and we are under direct attack through policing of unhoused disabled folks. 053

Anastasia Soukhov @soukhova.bsky.social · 22/01/2025In Canada, we don't have formalized regional land-use and transportation planning structures. It is more ad-hoc, unlike the MOP structure in the US. Came across a recent working paper that details some transferable lessons from their system to Canada. A School of Cities (UofT) paper.
