About
Lisa Marie Brunner is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Architecture and Planning at the Norwegian University of Science and University (NTNU). She holds a degree in Geography and Urban Development and has several years of working experience in European research projects with a focus on sustainable transport modes, integrated and resilient planning and urban design strategies for improving the attractiveness of cities. She has worked in interdisciplinary research environments between urban planning, transport, health and social sciences. At this interface, her interest lies in the links between the urban environment and its impact on people, and their health and well-being.
Research
My PhD project investigates how pedestrians experience the built urban environment while walking, focusing on time perception and emotions. The research aims to bridge the disciplines of architecture and urban planning with the human-focused disciplines of psychology and neuroscience.
The project is funded by the NTNU Health program: https://www.ntnu.edu/health/urban-environments-to-increase-health-and-well-being and part of the Urban Europe project EASIER on multimodal transportation: https://easier.dtu.dk/english
Through a new interdisciplinary group "Mobile sensory lab" I collaborate with NTNU´s Trolllabs and different institutes at NTNU.
Research interests: active living environments, healthy cities, evidence-based design, accessibility, transport safety, social equity, urban design, sustainable transportation, well-being, perceptions
