Raise the profile and understanding amongst senior decision makes about Leicester vision, ambition and success in providing facilities for, and the promotion cycle and walking
We invested considerable time with Leicester City Council understanding the narrative they wanted to communicate – cycling and walking strategy is being used to create a better place which in turn is bring in investment and creating jobs.
Leicester City Council’s appointed project manager played a very active part in the programme development. n Ahead of the event we developed a series of feature articles and supporting news stories from an in-depth interview with the elected Mayor to a detailed technical feature on the conversion of an old car park into a high quality public space. These were used in print and online and subsequently have led to pretentions at other conferences – both Landor events and with third parties.
Within the programme we built in content with local stakeholders (e.g. employers, developers, local Universities, volunteers) and key partners (e.g. British Cycling and Sports England) and fly in two keynote speakers from New York Transit Authority and NACTO (North American Chief Transport Officers) . Building memorable links between New York’s surprising success in developing cycling and Leicester’s approach and ambition.
Studies tours, rides and social activities designed to showcase and experience the City.
