Mar 25, 2021, 01:45 PM
Our panel of transport experts and local leaders discussed how to create a region-wide travel network that works for everybody who lives and works in the capital.
Is it time for Cardiff to have a congestion charge? What are the politics of big changes to the transport system?
The panel explore the challenges and opportunities for transport in the Cardiff City Region as we move from the Covid-19 crisis and towards the ‘new normal’.
We looked at plans for the region and delved into what lessons can be learned from successful transport solutions from further afield.
Panellists:
- Prof Mark Barry, Cardiff University
- Christine Boston, Sustrans Cymru
- Cllr Huw Thomas, Cardiff Council
- Allison Dutoit, Gehl, UWE Bristol
Attendees were able to engage in debate and ask questions of the panel.
