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.

In this lecture, Prof Sadie Morgan’s will chronicle major endeavours over her twenty-five year career, including a selection of projects and roles that have provided fertile testing ground for how design can work to authentically improve people’s lives.

Morgan will focus on the lessons learnt throughout – the power of collaborative design thinking and doing; the need for real social value; gender parity and diversity within the industry; the importance of listening and gathering knowledge; the importance of collective criticism; and the need for well-being and quality of life to become central to the built environment.

The inaugural lecture will also be webcast via Microsoft Teams, with a link shared with registered delegates as an Outlook invite on the day of the event.

In-person attendees are invited to join us for a drinks reception at the close of the lecture, to the event close.
