Tim Asperges is urban planner with expertise in urban mobility for more than 25 years. Since 2014 he is working as expert advisor for the city of Leuven. Tim is a guest professor on mobility policy and spatial planning for the Hasselt University.
Tim is one of the architects of the ambitious mobility plan of Leuven which had a huge impact on modal shift and upgrade of the public domain. He initiated different EU-projects which focus on new mobility services (e.g. e-HUB project), data-collection/ modelling and citizens involvement. Tim is seen as a bridge builder who sees the involvement of citizens and other actors as a key stone and his motto "Mobility connects people" is one of his main motivations. For his overall approach as a bridge builder in mobility planning he was rewarded as ‘mobility personality of the year’ in Belgium in 2019.
