In recent years, vehicle, cycle and pedestrian priority has been
re-calibrated to help reinvigorate the 'place' function of streets.

Are these competing functions of place and movement compromising the safety of road users?

At this important one day transport & urban design conference, learn about:

• how local authorities can balance the issues of risk and liability in such schemes
• the crucial role of quality audits
• the lessons learned from the DfTs mixed priority routes programme
• developments in contemporary street design
• how the principles of Manual for Streets are applied beyond residential areas
• research being undertaken on behalf of DfT into shared spaces and surfaces

Plus case studies of 'shared space' schemes in Ashford, London, Brighton & the DfTs mixed priority route scheme.

An excellent line up of speakers includes:

• John Dales, Director, Urban Initiatives
• Phil Jones of Phil Jones Associates (co-author Manual for Streets)
• Mike Bodkin, Head of Urban Regeneration, Kent CC
• Bill Mount, Special Projects Manager, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
• Tim Cuell, Technical Director, WSP
