GCHU Public Seminar series: Can Low Traffic Neighbourhoods work for everyone?

This seminar set out to explore the benefits of low traffic neighbourhoods, as well as consider diverse local community perspectives, and ask whether they can work for everyone.

We asked four leading voices in the field to share their knowledge, research and pitch their views on the subject. This is the latest in our series of events examining key urban issues.

- Dr Rachel Lee, Policy and Research Manager, Living Streets

- Patrick Lingwood, Active Travel Lead, Oxfordshire County Council

- Lucy Saunders, Director of Healthy Streets

- Dr Scott Urban, Hertford College and Director of Oxfordshire Liveable Streets

Register for the next GCHU Public Seminar: 1st December 2021 - The cycling paradox - how can cycling be encouraged as a healthy, sustainable, and safe mode of transport?
