In this lecture, Prof Rachel Aldred will reflect on over fifteen years of researching active travel, changes implemented in London and elsewhere, and the limits of those changes. She will suggest ways in which walking and cycling environments need to change to ensure that more people can walk and cycle, that these opportunities are available to currently under-represented groups, and that people’s experiences of walking and cycling are more equal than they are now. This will draw on Rachel’s own and others’ research, and will consider what we might expect or hope for in future.
