Programme – timing may vary slightly at the live event

Much is written and said about transport being a derived demand, with land use setting the location of that demand. As part of this seminar, we explore the links between good land use and good transport principles, how they complement each other, all the latest best practice and guidance on the subject, with several practical examples of exemplar developments delivered on the ground.

13.50   Catalytic Community Hubs – where community and mobility hubs come together to form the  catalyst for new settlements Mobility Hubs have very quickly become part of the lexicon of planning for better integration and choice for sustainable travel in a wide variety of locations. The ability to combine modes and important amenities and assets in an easily discernable place must go a long way to create a credible alternative to jumping in the car. But could they be used in combination with essential community facilities to act as catalytic hubs to form the nucleus of sustainable new towns and settlements?

AECOM, with Edge Urban Design and Turley have been investigating another aspect of mobility hubs related to their use as Catalytic Community Hubs in new and expanded settlements. Mobility hubs as placemakers to grow and anchor new communities
It’s about creating Social Value from not just getting you there, but getting to know you too.
