In this episode, I sit down with Gali Freund, an urban planner specializing in sustainable mobility with a passion for creating livable, walkable cities. Gali shares her unique journey, from grassroots activism to working with city planners and mayors, always with the goal of making urban spaces more accessible and human-centered.
We delve into her personal experiences of navigating urban mobility in Rotterdam and Tel Aviv, highlighting the challenges of integrating different modes of transport and the often-overlooked human experience in public transit. Gali’s work shines a light on the importance of designing for everyone—families with strollers, the elderly, and cyclists alike—and how small improvements can have a huge impact on quality of life.
