This webinar uncovered how transportation professionals can be better equipped to support positive change, while delivering innovative consultations and better engagement.

In this webinar we were joined by:

  • Jan Challis and Hannah Edwards, Senior Stakeholder Managers at National Highways 
  • Sue Jackson, Group Manager Transport Strategy at Hertfordshire County Council
  • Dan Phillips, Senior Research Fellow at the Royal College of Art 

The key message from this webinar was that engaging with the public is more than just about consultations and interesting shifting the perception from consultation and engagement to participation. 

We should shift from consultation and engagement to participation

With presentations on the importance of shifting to digital consultation, to the use of GIS to develop visually engaging consultation material and exploring research on the "Our Future Towns" project, which CIHT supported, and reflecting on behaviour change and the role of ‘engagement’ in policy and democratic movements. 

This webinar provided insight on how highways and transportation professionals can be better equipped to support positive change, while delivering innovative consultations and better engagement.
