Topic - The draft Mayor's Transport Strategy places a clear emphasis on a Healthy Streets Approach - a new type of thinking to put into practice the theory of reducing car dependency and increasing active and sustainable travel. Healthy Streets are also central to the draft London Plan. This evening lecture will look in more detail at what this means and how it can be achieved - drawing on project examples and proposals in London such as the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street. There will be a focus on walking, which is all too often taken for granted.
Speaker - Susan Claris is an Associate Director in Arup’s Transport Consulting Group in London. She is a transport planner and anthropologist with significant public sector experience and a particular interest in walkability creating more liveable, vibrant, safe, inclusive and healthy streets and communities (www.arup.com/walkingcities). Susan is also a Trustee of Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking. Susan lives in London and she describes herself as a passionate pedestrian.
