Global Challenges in Transport - Oxford Leadership Programme - Health, Wellbeing and Transport

5th Dec – 8th Dec 2017 09:00 – 17:00

Increasingly, concerns about health outcomes in a range of contexts are linked to transport and mobility issues. This 4-days residential course considers health, wellbeing and social equity across spatial scales, geographical contexts and transport modes. It specifically concentrates on the relationships between urban form and design, mobility practices, and physical and mental well-being. Particular emphasis will be placed on the potential contribution of walking, cycling and public transport services to healthy cities.
 
The course is part of the Global Challenges in Transport Programme, composed by 4 short courses. The aim of the programme is to provide researchers and practitioners with the necessary knowledge, skills and expertise, supported by the latest research evidence, to address the complexity associated with making transport sustainable. The programme is part of the Oxford Leadership Programme, and is delivered by the Transport Studies Unit, at the University of Oxford, in collaboration with Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
