The SCOPE: Bridging the Gap
February 22, 2024
Listen to insight from local authorities into the obstacles and opportunities in our net zero mobility journey
The SCOPE is a podcast exploring climate change as a force on, and result of, the built environment. Our guests on Episode 3 are Monika Büscher, professor of Sociology at the Department of Sociology, and associate director in the Centre for Mobilities Research at Lancaster University, Greg Marsden, professor of Transport Governance, Institute for Transport Studies, Keith Mitchell, director of Transport and Place, Stantec and Richard Wenham, chair, England’s Economic Heartland.
Following the launch of Bridging the Gap, an extensive report examining the most viable routes towards transport decarbonisation, the group discuss key takeaways for local authorities and the systemic, societal shifts needed in the years ahead.
