Transport Pubcast Special with Dr Tom Cohen from University of Westminster
Manage episode 351219158 series 2928450
Series 2, Episode 6. Neil and Nick are joined in the Windsor Castle pub by special guest Dr Tom Cohen, a Senior Lecturer in transport at the University of Westminster. We discuss:
- Childhood transport memories,
- Active travel, cycling, e-bikes and e-scooters,
- "shared mobility" such as dockless bikes, and why it's not really sharing if you charge rent,
- How to run consultations with the public that don't look like a "fix" (one for the Mayor to tune in...)
- The 1 hour transport "budget" and whether transport should try to go faster.
- The 15 minute city, how it goes wrong (clue: people will make their own choices)
- We also touch on "Order Without Design" by Alain Bertaud, a superb book about the way cities are better shaped by markets than by central planning. I highly recommend it, we hope to do a fuller review in a future episode, but here's a little taster.
Finally, an apology for the sound quality in parts of this episode, I'm afraid that's entirely my fault - Neil
