The Global Centre on Healthcare and Urbanisation (GCHU) Public Seminar series brings together members of the public, researchers and practitioners interested and engaged in urban health issues. The principal aim of the series is to provoke debate and constructive action, linking current best practice in urban development with emerging areas of health research.

In this seminar, we will explore equity in cycling, and how more diverse communities can access cycling and other active travel modes.

Speakers:

  • Professor Rachel Aldred - Professor of Transport at the University of Westminster, and Director of the Active Travel Academy
  • Kate Ball - Campaigns and Policy Officer, Wheels for Wellbeing
  • Duncan Dollimore - Head of Campaigns, Cycling UK
  • Hassan Sabrie - Director of Oxford Community Action

The event will be chaired by GCHU Director of Research Dr Juliet Carpenter.

This in-person event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served from 17:00. The seminar will begin at 17:30, followed by a drinks reception at 18:30.
