20-Minute Neighbourhoods: Creating Connected Places 

This webinar - the fourth in a series of TCPA webinars about 20-minute neighbourhoods - explored how better connections across and between neighbourhoods can be achieved in different types of places, including traditional settlements that were designed for walking but have become car-dominated, and post-war developments that were designed in an era when it was assumed that car-ownership would be universal.
Improving the physical infrastructure of streets and increasing their connectivity is however only part of what needs to be done to encourage people to choose active travel. In addition, people need the confidence to know that they have the ability to reach their destination safely and on time; and need support and encouragement to change deeply ingrained habits such as driving to the local shops or school.
This webinar was chaired by TCPA Director of Healthier Place-making, Julia Thrift, and featured contributions from:
• Glyn Tully, Associate Director, Head of Urban Design, Levitt Bernstein
• Nicola Parker, Senior Programme Manager: Cycling and Walking, Cumbria County Council
• Richard Simon, Partner, Director of Planning, Applied Information Group
• Dr Katy Karampour, Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research
• Laurence Fallon, Development Management Team Leader, Active Travel England
