Jim, Jo and Ben at the 52nd International Making Cities Livable Conference on Achieving Green, Healthy Cities

The 52nd International Making Cities Livable Conference on Achieving Green, Healthy Cities, co-sponsored by The University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, is in Bristol this week, and the AQMRC's Jim, Jo and Ben will be ensuring that air quality features prominently. Jim will be presenting under the 'Air Pollution, Urban Noise and Health' session on Thursday afternoon delivering a talk entitled Urban Air Quality in Historical Perspective - or why we fail to learn the lessons of history, in which he will expound on the need to learn from past mistakes in order to address modern air pollution problems in urban areas. Jo and Ben will be presenting in the poster session on the same afternoon, both on the theme of 'Learning from Bristol'. Jo's poster captures research undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of local air quality action planning using Bristol as a case study, while Ben will present the findings of the Bristol European Green Capital Air Quality Masterclass that we were invited to organize by Bristol City Council on behalf of the outgoing European Green Capital City, Copenhagen.
