New Webinar - Moments of Change: New homes as a catalyst for sustainable travel behaviours

Moving house presents a ‘moment of change’ where people can be open to adopting new travel behaviours. For some, they already know they want to travel differently (like downsizing and reducing car ownership), for others, relocation presents a time where new habits will be formed. As the UK embarks on wide-scale development of new homes, how might new developments ensure people adopt travel behaviours that benefit them, and their wider community? Would supporting new homes with infrastructure and behaviour change measures improve their liveability and long-term value?

Enable policymakers and practitioners to understand, identify and harness the opportunities home-moving presents for enabling and encouraging new patterns of travel behaviour. Exploring the concept of change moments and their importance, particularly how the transition into a new home can serve as a mechanism (window of opportunity) for habit formation, leading to the adoption of more desirable - sustainable, efficient and community-oriented - travel behaviours and how this can be achieved.
