Be a part of Cycle City Active City Bradford...

Call for papers and submissions

Due to popular demand for an extension, the Call for Papers has been extended to 10 February 2017

After a very successful event in Leicester 2016, which attracted more than 700 delegates, we're moving to Bradford for 2017. Bradford is a city with huge potential. The stunning City Park public space has transformed the heart of the city and, in April 2017, the city hosts the final stage of the Tour de Yorkshire. This is followed by Cycle City Active City in May, while the 14km Leeds-Bradford CityConnect cycle superhighway is already increasing the amount of cycling-related activity in the region.

2017 will be a pivotal year for Bradford. The objective of Cycle City Active City Bradford is for professionals in government, business, third sector, transport and urban consultancy, academia and public health to share experiences around the following themes:

• enabling active and inclusive access to employment, education and amenities
• supporting environmental health and cleaner air initiatives
• active tourism and visitor experiences
• developing committed plans for cycling and walking networks
• new funding options and the economics of scheme delivery 
• tools, processes, resources and platforms to support cycling and walking development

If you are interested in being involved, please to get in touch with us to propose content for the event. This can include: study tours, conference papers, workshops, panel debates, media activities and exhibitions. New ideas welcome…

Please send your suggestions and paper submissions (max 250-word outline and title, plus speaker and contact details)  to juliana.orourke@landor.co.uk

Note: due to popular demand for an extension, the Call for Papers will now close on 10 February
