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.

The arterial lanes of Kathmandu are good transitional spots that can make it easy to bypass traffic bottlenecks and choking pollution. Best done with the bicycle. What could ‘bicycle cities’ of the world teach Kathmandu to gain this advantage - Arun Khanna
Presented at the 2015 ACSP Conference this presentation provides an over of a paper evaluating the potential for trips on cargo bikes to substitute for car trips. While a large body of research has continued to investigate traditional bike transportation, cargo bikes offer the potential to capture trips for those that might otherwise be made by car. To investigate this, data from a survey of cargo bike users are evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The survey queried how use and travel dynamics of characteristics with the hypothesis that cargo bike ownership has the potential to contribute to mode substitution behavior. From a descriptive standpoint, 68.9% of those surveyed changed their travel behavior after purchasing a cargo bike and the number of auto trips appeared to decline by 1-2 trips per day. Two key reasons cited for this change included the ability to get around with children and more gear. This is confirmed by regression models which underscore this trend towards increased active transport. Based on these results, further research could include focus on overcoming weather-related / elemental barriers (perhaps with an e-assist capacity), which continue to be an obstacle to every day cycling, and further investigation into families modeling healthy behaviors to children with cargo bikes

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!

A presentation conducted by Mrs Joanne Leach, University of Birmingham.
Presented on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013.
Infrastructure forms the framework within which modern societies operate both at the physical and social level. It
includes (amongst others) digital, green and social infrastructures, emergency services and food networks as well as water, energy, waste and transport. In 2012 Liveable Cities, a 5-year research programme, combining the Universities of Birmingham, Lancaster, Southampton and UCL, was established to identify and test radical engineering interventions that will lead to liveable cities of the future (low carbon, resource secure cities in which societal wellbeing is prioritised). This paper presents a discussion of what comprises a truly liveable city and how it might be achieved. It presents the City Analysis Framework, a technique for the analysis of city operations that establishes a hierarchy of needs relevant to successfully achieving a liveable city. The results reflect the changing perceptions and importance of infrastructure
and how proposed changes can radically alter people’s lifestyle and wellbeing.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

1. The “Be-Cycle” game is a product of the Cycle Cities project made by
Make the city really liveable!
Today people who choose to drive rather than walk, or cycle, a short
distance do so not merely for convenience, but also to insulate
themselves from the harshness of a street ruled by the motor vehicles.
The broadening of transport options beyond those that require an engine
can help restore the environment and human health, indeed, the very
quality of urban life.
This has been stated in article by Marcia D. Lowe published by the
Worldwatch Institute.
