Events
A major activity of the Society is its annual programme of events which seeks to engage keynote speakers, promote different perspectives and generate lively discussion on contemporary topics and issues. Our theme for 2009 is: -
'Sustainable transport planning's role in rebuilding the UK economy'.
This theme is the focus of our events programme and for our 2009 Bursaries.
The credit crunch and current economic recession is a huge issue for transport planning. It is often said that interest in the environment, or in delivering sustainable development, are concerns for the economic good times; concerns to be thrown out when the economic cold winds blow. Yet others say that strong investment in the switch to a low carbon economy could be the economic boost the country needs to avoid unemployment, as well as addressing climate change. Which view will prevail, not just in theory, but at the sharp end of practice on the ground?
Please note that if you are unable to attend one of our London events you can still participate remotely, or hear what was said later in your own time, using our Interwise facility. For further details click here.
