Anders Kvist Simonsen is a Part-time Lecturer at the Department of Sustainability and Planning, The Technical Faculty of IT and Design, Aalborg University, Denmark. His work focuses on urban planning, geodesy, and the application of GPS technology to understand human movement patterns in urban environments.

His research interests lie at the intersection of urban sustainability, spatial behavior, and digital planning tools. He has been actively involved in interdisciplinary projects examining how young people and cyclists navigate urban spaces, using GPS data to inform planning decisions. His work emphasizes participatory methods and the integration of smart technologies into urban development.

The recent publications reflect a strong focus on empirical studies using GPS-based surveys in areas like Vollsmose and Copenhagen, exploring themes such as bikeability, walkability, and diverse urban spaces. These works demonstrate a consistent engagement with real-world urban challenges through data-driven methodologies.

Anders has contributed to several externally funded research projects, including DMB/DUS initiatives on multifunctional neighborhoods, bikeability, and walking behaviors. These projects highlight collaborative efforts across departments and institutions, emphasizing community engagement and innovative planning tools.

He has participated in key research outputs including reports, working papers, and conference presentations, primarily related to urban mobility and spatial analysis. Though no formal advising or awards are listed, his involvement in major research initiatives underscores his role in advancing sustainable urban planning practices.
