Tackling climate change is a budget priority, but will we see the major investment in cycling infrastructure and public transport that is one obvious solution?
Local realities shape the transport system, making it less directly applicable as a model elsewhere.
Research shows apps designed to make journeys more environmentally friendly aren’t considering women’s transport needs.

From buses in Bogotá to cycling through Cambridge, we can learn valuable lessons from how countries across the world deliver sustainable transport.
When it comes to ring roads, Birmingham has a poor track record. Can the city’s new transport plan buck that trend and benefit both its inhabitants and the environment?
