AFTERNOON OVERVIEW
The latest Fourth Door afternoon micro-symposium aims to connect at times overlooked elements in the transport debate, while also addressing Lewes and its surrounding areas possible travel futures.
The Intersections symposium links architectural to transport systems design, the natural materials perspective with cycle and rail infrastructure, and citizen science led digital tech to traffic related health and pollution issues.
The micro-symposium highlights both national and local initiatives, drawing these together in a single afternoon sitting to help encourage discussion and cross-fertilisation, and framing what’s happening in Lewes and the Ouse Valley in the broader transport debate.
The afternoon is organised around three main themes:
I – Cycle and rail Infrastructure and cycle networks
II – Future homes, towns, and sustainable transport
III – Envisioning digital tech and transport infrastructure futures
The afternoon is timely given the prospective lo-to-no car PhoenixLewes eco-development, and the current work on a new mobility strategy for the town.
Come and participate in an afternoon re-envisioning Lewes's transit futures.
