GoTo Webinar: Using insight from two research papers, speakers will present and answer questions surrounding, 'Equitable Future Mobility' and 'Enhance cycling and walking safety for children'.
Arup and Urban Transport Group undertook joint research into “Equitable Future Mobility” which was awarded best paper demonstrating a sustainable transport solution at this year’s Transport Practitioners Meeting. The research explores how our lived experiences can affect the decisions we make as designers, and offers a framework for managing unconscious bias and taking a more human-centered design approach to make transport systems more affordable, accessible, acceptable and available.
Studies from across the UK indicate that children are consistently becoming less active, and in particular, fewer are walking, cycling or scooting to school than their parents or grandparents. Safety concerns make it less attractive for children to travel actively, or play in their surroundings. Infrastructure – building safer crossings and segregated networks – is critical to improving perceived and actual safety for children, however this can take many years to materialise. This research report ‘Enhance cycling and walking safety for children’ investigates a range of technological and policy interventions which can support safe infrastructure as it is rolled out. The brochure also explores the concept of universal design and how we can better include children in the design process. Case studies from around the world are collected - with a particular focus on those which have been successful in multiple contexts – to support planners in creating safer and more attractive spaces for children.
