This project is seeking to understand what the social impact of these technological developments may be in the context of an ageing society, looking at aspects of lived experience, public health and mobility.
There is wide agreement that more walking and public engagement in outdoor activities can make a contribution to personal well-being, health and collective sustainability. But how do we go about promoting the benefits of walking and 'the great outdoors' in a culture where it is ever easier to be sedentary and disconnected from the natural environment? Our seminar speaker Jim Walker of the Outdoor Trust charity draws on a wealth of experience as a ranger, trail designer and urban well-being consultant in discussing these challenges for sustainable lifestyle change. Jim will look at methods for engaging citizens in outdoor activities and how these can contribute to wider behavioural change.

Is it time to stop planning complete streets?Andy Boenau
***originally presented as a live webinar on Nov 21, 2014***
“Complete street” is a transportation term that refers to a corridor designed for all modes of transportation. Washington, DC has made national news for its emphasis on the fundamental modes of transportation – walking and biking. It’s also home to one of the most recognizable mass transit systems.
So why would the District Department of Transportation propose a scenario that eliminates complete streets? How do they propose safely accommodating users from so many different modes of travel?
This webcast will cover the following:
• Trade-offs associated with physically separating travel modes;
• Corridor planning vs. network planning;
• Transportation mode hierarchy; and
• Placemaking treatments based on street function.
Andy Boenau leads the urban planning practice at Timmons Group, a Virginia-based consulting firm. His expertise is guiding infrastructure projects in such a way that all travel modes are accommodated on streets. It would be fair to label him as a pro-walk/pro-bike advocate.
He facilitates workgroups, stakeholder meetings, and social media engagement for planning and design projects. He enjoys translating technical jargon and transportation issues in ways that promote active and meaningful public involvement.
Andy is responsible for the APA New Urbanism Division’s newsletter and is APA-Virginia’s vice president of external affairs. He will be facilitating the discussion about implementing complete street design principles.
Colleen Hawkinson is a transportation planner for the District Department of Transportation in Washington, DC. She has a master’s degree in Urban and Environmental Planning from the University of Virginia.
Colleen manages DDOT’s Strategic Planning Branch, which covers neighborhood transportation and livability studies and citywide planning. She recently managed the massive long-range transportation plan called moveDC.
Throughout her career, Ms. Hawkinson has developed and managed an array of diverse projects promoting sustainability, economic development, and enhanced quality of life through transportation networks.
Chris Shaheen manages the Public Space Program Washington, DC’s Office of Planning. He has an undergraduate degree in landscape architecture and urban planning, and a graduate degree in historic preservation.
Chris helps developers implement city regulations and guidelines that enhance the pedestrian experience and promote sustainable development practices. His work ranges from citywide initiatives to small-scale streetscape or open space plans proposed by the private sector. He plays a key role in drafting legislation for green buildings in the District and is active in current efforts to adopt green building and sustainable development standards for the Washington metropolitan area.

The City of Lathrup Village, Michigan is developing a Complete Streets Plan with the assistance of Birchler Arroyo Associates, Inc. (www.birchlerarroyo.com).
Livability is a concept that has enjoyed tremendous popularity in recent years. The Federal Highway Administration established a formal “Livability Initiative” and in 2010, published a guidebook to educate transportation planning and design professionals.
So how are we doing? Are we improving the health and safety of the traveling public?
Even with the enormous amount of data showing direct and tangible connections between street design and public health and safety (i.e. livability), bad design continues to show itself on a regular basis on our street networks.
If good design promotes livability, then bad design must promote the opposite of livability…killability.
We can do better! Help put an end to dangerous design and save some lives!
This presentation was originally delivered during the 2014 National Planning Conference in Atlanta, GA.

Urban Design and Street Typology: Do They Matter?William Riggs
Despite a growing body of work defining the benefits and methods to encourage multi-modal travel, only a small body of research has worked to fuse urban design and complete street philosophies. Based on work recently published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research on street design and two-way street conversions, Dr. William Riggs will discuss how street typologies and complete streets dialogues are linked, and how urban design policies might be advanced to facilitate safer and more livable streets.

This icy wilderness stands as a testament to extremes, with record-breaking cold temperatures and vast expanses of pristine ice. Antarctica's landscape is dominated by towering glaciers, colossal icebergs, and expansive ice shelves. Yet, amidst this frozen expanse, a rich tapestry of unique wildlife thrives, including penguins, seals, and seabirds, all finely attuned to survive in this harsh environment. Beyond its natural wonders, Antarctica also serves as a vital hub for scientific exploration, providing invaluable insights into climate change and the Earth's history

In the UK the direct financial cost of physical inactivity to the NHS is estimated as £900 million (Scarborough P, Bhatnagar P, Wickramasinghe K, Allender S, Foster C, Rayner M. (2011).

In 1984 we went from campaigning to doing. Bristol to Bath, Glasgow to Dumbarton, Selby to York. The latter precipitated the conversion of Cyclebag into a registered charity - sustrans
During 1979 to 1984 Sustrans built the 16 mile long route from Bristol to Bath initially using volunteers and then large teams under the Government’s Community Enterprise Programme.
The level of change needed will vary from place to place. In Edinburgh, for example, 22% of journeys are already made by foot, in Greater Manchester 28% are made by public transport, and in Cambridge 26% of journeys to work are made by bike.
We need every town, city and village in the UK to make this move by 2020.
Figures show that regularly playing outdoors near home is much less common for today’s children than for previous generations.
An ICM survey commissioned by Play England for Playday shows that 71 per cent of adults played outside in the street or area close to their homes every day when they were children, compared to only 21 per cent of children today.
Both children and adults considered traffic to be the main factor that stops children and young people playing or spending time in the streets or areas near their homes, with nearly 1 in 4 children and 35 per cent of adults listing it as one of their top three barriers to street play.
29 per cent of under-18s and 39 per cent of adults said that more play spaces would make children and young people play on the streets and areas near their homes more often. Less danger from traffic was the second most popular solution given by adults (23 per cent), and children put less traffic in their top three solutions.
In 2012, the overall motor vehicle traffic volume was over 10 times higher than in 1949. Road Traffic Statistics: Annual Road Traffic Estimates. Great Britain 2012. Department of Transport
