Overview

We aim to understand how transport can further support the sustainable city. Our key themes include:

  • Transport and urban planning
  • Transport and climate change, social equity and well-being
  • Discourse and contestation in transport planning
  • Streetscape design, walkability, disability and travel

We use a range of research methods, including quantitative and qualitative analysis.
