Demand for housing is outstripping the supply. We need smart planning to ensure new housing is supported by adequate transport infrastructure providing access to jobs and services. How can we ensure that land use, transport planning and technological advancements are part of a holistic plan which sets us up for the future and allows us to maintain a high quality of life?
This event will delve into key topics, including:
- National Settlement: Fostering transportation solutions that benefit both urban and rural areas.
- Clean Transport: Exploring sustainable and eco-friendly modes of transportation.
- Active Transport: Encouraging walking, cycling, and other physically active means of getting around.
- High-Speed Rail: Discussing efficient and rapid rail networks.
- Equitable Access to Transport: Ensuring fair and equal access for all individuals, regardless of background or ability.
- Road Safety: Addressing measures to reduce accidents and enhance safety on our roads.
Join us as we chart a course toward a more inclusive and forward-thinking transport system! 🚗🚆🚲
