Ricchetti Chiara

Chiara Ricchetti graduated from the University of Turin in 2021 after a period of study in China. Thanks to her studies, she has been able to work on the topic of the transport system, in particular rail mobility for agri-food freight. Her thesis focuses on the relationship between the transport system and the sustainable development of cities. She combines the perspectives of freight and passenger transport. At the current stage of her research, she is focusing on bicycle mobility. To this end, she has carried out a data collection campaign involving students from all the faculties of the University of Trieste. The aim is to study their own mobility habits towards the university. In particular, she is interested in understanding their own propensity to use bicycles. She is also currently reading scientific papers in order to write a scientific literature review article. This will be the first research output of the first year of the PhD. The study aims to understand if there is a positive correlation between urban green infrastructure along cycle routes and increased cycling by reviewing the evidence found in the scientific literature. The first stage of results from the first scientific papers read was presented at the XXV Siet Conference, which took place in Trieste in June 2023.
