How new transport strategies are making better places
The built environment and infrastructure in towns and cities influences the way we move, interact, transact, behave and feel. Spatial layout, urban design and mobility opportunities and choices are closely linked to economic and social success, and to health and wellbeing.
There is now strong political will to address social issues such as low levels of activity, poor air quality, congestion and private car dependency. Rapidly developing mobility business models and technologies present clear options for more cost-effective, convenient and less polluting ways of travelling for work and leisure.
This event will look at how forward-thinking towns and cities are adopting new strategies and tactics to deliver safer, cleaner and people-friendly places.
As industry practitioners involved in transport, public realm, urban planning, smart cities, health, highways, regeneration, stakeholder engagement or behaviour change, it is easy to work in defined silos and lose sight of the bigger picture – the design and delivery of complete 'better places'. We need to think holistically.
Join us at The Better Places Symposium 2016 to see how this approach is working in practice: how local authorities, businesses and communities are working together to manage urban mobility and so deliver positive change.
