Orlando Sabogal-Cardona

Transport Researcher - IDB

Climate change and the reduction of inequalities are two of the most important challenges of our time. Directly or indirectly, my work turns around these two themes.

My research spans a range of topics, from app-based mobility (ABM) and active transportation to informal transportation and accessibility, with a primary focus on Latin America and the Caribbean.

I hold a PhD in Development Planning from University College London (UCL). I combine qualitative and quantitative methods, with strong expertise in data analysis and modelling (R user)

My doctoral research explored leisure cycling through the sociological concept of social capital. One outcome of this work is the idea of leisure- and sport-based forms of transportation, which brings together the perspectives of “transport as leisure and leisure as transport.”
