YarraBUG Radio on 3CR

We're having a little winter hiatus so here's three episodes of the excellent Step Away From The Car thanks to Nicky Page and Radio AdelaideFirst up: Global Lessons Local Opportunities: the 2021 Australian Walking and Cycling Conference wrapped up with a panel of keynote speakers, sharing some key lessons around funding, partnerships and public health. Dr Meredith Glaser is Director of the Urban Cycling Institute at the University of Amsterdam, Dr Dr Helen Donovan is from the City of Adelaide and Director of Walking SA, and Fiona Campbell is Manager of Cycling Strategy at the City of Sydney. The Case for Micromobility: Jerryn Zwart from Zwart Transport Planning and Shifani Sood from WSP are two urban planners calling for smarter planning for the growing number of better micromobility vehicles. Including, but not only, e-scooters and e-bikes.Pathways to Change: Electric cars are a helpful but completely inadequate step towards reducing Australia’s carbon emissions. We need to take a step AWAY from private cars altogether. That’s the official view of the Climate Council and of the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference. Gill King specializes in faith leadership, investment & urban design. She explores some important but less mainstream strategies.
