Jo speaking at Better Places and Parking World 2016

Jo spoke at the Better Places and Parking World 2016 conference at the Kia Oval in London yesterday. The event, which was organised by Landor LINKS, was attended by a broad range of professionals all seeking to improve urban design and the impact of road traffic. Jo's presentation, entitled "Beyond nudge and improving transport infrastructure: the real task of tackling poor air quality", led the 'Improving Air Quality' session, and discussed the role of social practice theory in understanding how emissions are generated and by whom, contextualized with examples from the EPSRC-funded projects, Disruption and MOT, and the new H2020 project, ClairCity. The novel approach presented was perhaps a challenge to traditional thinking on air quality and transport management and was met with a lot of interest from the diverse, and largely receptive, audience.
