Transportation Research Interdisciplinary PerspectivesWalking often involves crossing a road, where the chance of vehicle–pedestrian conflict increases. Footbridges are one of the engineering instruments that offer safety for pedestrians during road crossing avoiding any physical conflicts with pedestrians.

I Feel I Need to Think about It: A Defence of Affective Moral Enhancement. [PDF]
BioethicsABSTRACT Critics of affective moral enhancement generally contend that moral improvement can only be properly achieved through interventions that engage a person's rational faculties. Therefore, they view attempts to achieve moral improvement by targeting emotions as futile at best and detrimental to moral agency at worst.

City of Skywalks: Exploring Hong Kong’s Public Space and Power of Discourse from Footbridges
Social Sciences, 2022 As a public space and building, the footbridge is not just a physical concrete building but also carries people’s life experiences and beliefs. In Hong Kong, however, footbridges are a joint product of the government and property developers to control ...

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The authors both accept the non‐consequentialist principle that prohibits an agent from killing one to save five. The authors argue about whether that principle similarly prohibits an agent from letting herself kill one in order to save five: Byrne insists it does; Sridharan insists it doesn't.

Refining Transit‐Oriented Development Assessment: Ecological Conditions as a Critical Supplement
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.Abstract Existing transit‐oriented development (TOD) assessments rarely examine whether station environments also support everyday ecological functions, including recreation access, thermal moderation, restoration and biodiversity. We developed a Node–Place–Design–Eco (NPDE) diagnosis for 92 Hong Kong railway station areas, combining conventional TOD ...
