Stephen has eighteen years experience in urban and transport fields: five in consultancy and thirteen in academia. Having originally graduated in Civil Engineering, he subsequently gained a Masters degree in Transport Planning and Engineering, a Postgraduate Diploma in Urban Design, and a PhD in Planning Studies. He has worked on several UK and EC research projects involving transport, planning and urban design, including the evolving relationships between transport and urban form. Dr Marshall has written several publications addressing these topics, including the books Land Use and Transport (with David Banister); Streets and Patterns; and the forthcoming Cities Design and Evolution.
Abstract:
The talk explored the relationship between transport and cities, first noting the historical co-evolution of transport modes and different kinds of urban form, and then considering possible future paths. The focus is on exploring future urban environments and adaptive processes that would support to the introduction of new ‘green’ transport modes – and greater use of traditional ‘green’ modes such as walking and cycling – towards a more environmentally sustainable, less energy-intensive city of the future.
