Here are a range of events and notices that may be of interest to Transport Planning Network members:

RTPI/TRICS Conference 2008 - Local Transport in a Global Context

Rising fuel prices, the credit crunch and climate change… What can transport and land use planners do to make a difference?

In 2008 TRICS in partnership with RTPI celebrates 20 years of its Transport and Development Conference. This year, the world’s changing economic and environmental climate has meant that the transport and development industry has rarely been out of the media spotlight. During the 2 days, through plenary and parallel sessions, workshops, study tours and case studies we will look at how we can shape our localities to adapt to, or impact on, these global issues.  Speakers from DfT and DCLG will present on current thinking, public attitudes and the effects of climate change and rising fuel prices on transport and development. This year’s event will be held at the Hilton London Metropole.

Would you or your organization like to host an event with the RTPI/TPS Transport Planning Network – for example, a walking tour of a recent project or an informal evening discussion of key transport issues for a few members? We would particularly welcome suggestions for events outside London. If you would like to host such an event, please e-mail the Network and we can help you organize it. Contact the Network here
