Leeds has seen a range of initiatives to reclaim space from motor vehicles to create people-friendly spaces. Some of these cutting-edge efforts are under development, both in the city centre and in new residential neighbourhoods. We will hear from the expert practitioners leading these initiatives. We will also learn from exciting plans underway in nearby York to eliminate non-essential car trips in the city centre. A walking tour from the university through the city centre will cap off the afternoon, ending with an optional pub social. The event is organised by the Traffic Removal UK network, Institute for Transport Studies at University of Leeds and Act TravelWise. Registration is free. This event follows other Traffic Removal UK events held in Bristol, London and Portsmouth.
