Dense development, focused around transit hubs, is widely advocated as the strategy to enable sustainable mobility. Such an approach can also answer our housing shortage by providing large quantities of new housing in highly desirable inner city areas without touching our treasured green field sites.
Why then, is transit-oriented development not more widely adopted in the UK? To what extent can it ever guide development in the South West of England, where more people live in villages and isolated dwellings than any other UK region?
Join us at the University of the West of England (UWE), with developers, local authorities, consultants and academics to add your part to the national conversation about the direction of development in our towns and cities
