Bello.
I plan, design and study the networks that move cities: roads, rail, transit and the data behind them. MS Transportation student and researcher at the University Transportation Centre, SC State University.
Fueled by a passion for thriving cities and communities.
After spending what feels like a quarter of my life in Lagos traffic, I developed a strong conviction to create solutions that transform mobility. I believe we can do more than just survive city life, we can design systems that connect communities, accelerate trade, and expand opportunities.
My work spans traffic data collection, congestion and safety analysis, microsimulation, and roadway, earthworks and drainage design, from Lagos transit corridors to U.S. highway safety data.
