About the session

The information age is shaping social and business practices and our approach to travel. With the prospect of peak car use upon us, we are facing the possibility of a regime change in transport. Younger generations are reinforcing the primacy of access over physical mobility. We risk being at the mercy of limited imagination about the future if we only draw upon our experience as transport professionals.
