TC Urbes is a consulting firm specialized in mobility and accessibility planning along with the requalification of public spaces. The main goal of TC Urbes is to promote intermodal transport.

The maps below were produced by me for the book The Bicycle and the Cities, an informative material on bicycle and city planning in collaboration with the Energy and Environment Institute. In Brazil the lack of infrastructure for non-motorized modes of transportation also entails lack of consistent georeferenced datasets, so, this work included a lot of heads up digitization and dataset creation along with map making and data plotting. https://www.mobilize.org.br/estudos/13/a-bicicleta-e-as-cidades--iema--2010.html
