Mo Sarraf

I am a researcher in urban and community planning at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, and affiliated with the Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders (KIND) at Karolinska Institutet. My work examines how cities and spatial environments can better support the everyday lives of neurodivergent people.

Trained as an architect, I hold a PhD in Urban Planning & Decision Analysis from KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2015).

My current research explores the intersection of neurodiversity and the built environment, focusing on how architectural and spatial design can contribute to the creation of more inclusive and neuro-aware cities.

There has recently been an interview in KI magazine Medicinsk Vetenskap about the research project Neuro-aware Journeys: an integrated 'Individual Mobility Plan' for neurodivergent school-age children, outlining its background and objectives (See Page 10).
