Jennifer Kent

Dr Jennifer Kent is a Senior Research Fellow and Urbanism Research Lead at the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning. Jennifer’s research interests are at the intersections between urban planning, transport and human health.

She specialises in combining quantitative and qualitative data with understandings from policy science to explore day-to-day mobility, with an explicit mandate to record and theorise shifts away from private car use towards more sustainable transport modes in car oriented cities. Issues examined to date include parenting and private car use, companion animals and transport, the links between cities and loneliness, and the interpretation of health evidence into planning and transport policy. Jennifer publishes regularly in high ranking scholarly journals and her work has been used to inform policy development in NSW and Australia.
