Safe liveable streets for the 21st Century - design - technology - liability

This lecture will take a hard and wide-ranging look at how our streets are performing from the perspectives of public health, road safety, noise, air pollution, active travel, social contact, community resilience, and economics; it will cover the latest developments in design and technology and management which could transform the way streets serve society; and overview the legal duties and responsibilities of designers and managers.

Robert Huxford is Director of the Urban Design Group, and co-author of the UK Guide on HIghway Risk and Liability Claims; and wrote the Engineering Council's Vision for Transport 2020.
