CPD + Networking: Healthy and Sustainable Streets

The quality and design of streets play a fundamental role in creating places that are healthy, sustainable and enjoyable. But what does a successful street look like? How can we ensure new developments deliver the right kinds of streets and movement strategies? This event will focus on how planners, designers and developers can deliver great streets and movement networks in new developments and town centres.

Learn from industry experts on the key role of streets in delivering healthy and sustainable places. Speakers will also explore how to accommodate cars while achieving better streets and designing for physical activity.
