Transport Carbon IntenCities (TraCit) Workshop,
12th November, 2010.
Princess Royal Gallery, Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth Historic
Dockyard
CURe University of Portsmouth
Economic growth and reducing emission are key goals of policy makers
around the world. These two goals could be considered contradictory
given the long established links between economic growth and growth in
carbon intensive transport. The TraCit project seeks to investigate ways
in which these links can be broken down. Working in collaboration with
academic, municipal and industrial partners from here in the South of
England, Tallinn Estonia and Malopolska Poland, the TraCit project aims
to share knowledge and best practice to facilitate partner regions in
implementing appropriate policies and projects to reduce energy and
carbon intensive travel while at the same time supporting development
and economic growth. A varied selection of interventions will form the
basis of case studies in each region, ranging from cycling
infrastructure schemes, educational programmes to urban planning as
possible tools to aid decoupling.
