Newcastle #cityfutures sapl http://newcycling.org/events/20140402/newcastle-city-futures-sapl A series of events organised by the Newcastle University's School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (SAPL). Katja Leyendecker will speak about city-wide planning methods for sustainable transport. Please see attached (below) the finalised events leaflet for the Newcastle City Futures: People, Place, Change exhibition and events series. Join on twitter at @NewcastleSAPL #cityfutures and at the Newcastle City Futures blog: https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/cityfutures/ Starts: Wednesday, 28 May, 2014 - 18:00

Building #cityfuturesaa
transport system for a
sustainable future
Katja Leyendecker Eur.Ing CEng C.WEM MCIWEMWater engineerChair, Newcastle Cycling Campaign
The Engineering Challenges of Sustainable Transport
Infrastructure…what do engineers do all day?
Utilities (gas, water, electricity) - grids and generation
Communication (broadband, television, radio, mobile phone, landline)
Water and disposal (sewage, landfill, transfer stations)
Flood and water (rivers, streams, canals, dams, reservoirs)
Transport (roads and streets, bridges, rail, ports, airports, freight
distribution centres, bus / light rail / local transport)

Stresses on society and the future of cities
Big national projects
Decentralised community solutions
Economic growth Sustainability = living in a finite habitat
Population
Consumption

The bicycle - the missing ingredient in urban transport
#cityfutures
Modal shift
“Sustrans calls on UK governments to invest in doubling the number of journeys under five miles made by foot, bike and public transport to four out of five by 2020.”
#cityfutures
Modal shift? Why?
Transport emissions from personal car use
#cityfutures
Modal shift? Why?
Public health crisisCost of motoring – fair societyAir qualityNoise pollutionClimate change
Doing the right thing ...The benefits are well understood, researched...
#cityfutures
What we know
People who currently cycle, cycle regardless of the current conditions
The majority of people don't cycle
And they tell us they don't cycle because cycling • is for kids and not normal for
adults• there is no safe space for
cycling
#cityfutures
Political will
Steady funding / investment
Technical expertise, engineering and land use planning
What we know #cityfutures
How much do we ‘need’ the car?
What can other countries tell us?
The transitioned countries : Netherlands, Denmark, Germany
The transitioners: Spain (Sevilla), Ireland (Dublin), US (New York City)
#cityfutures
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
#cityfutures
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
citywide plan is needed, cabinet, policy implications, car parking policy, city centre bus route rationalisation, question traffic flow model, transport transition debate, car restraint
#cityfutures
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
clearer space definition will remove conflict, road classification, fit all roads over 30mph with cycle-specific infrastructure
#cityfutures
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
creating ownership, removing rat-runs, install gateways and necking-down corners, calmer streets, streets for people
#cityfutures
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
prioritise walking and cycling, many different concepts, Newcastle should innovate
#cityfutures
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
Newcastle's 20mph conversion is incomplete, community speed surveys, speed reduction is not always enough, cycle infrastructure may still be required
The six building blocks for sustainable urban transport
promote cycle routes, talking positively about walking and cycling, discouraging car use
