Liveable Neighbourhoods is the must attend annual conference and exhibition for anyone working to develop people-friendly streets. The event is attended by leading decision makers, change makers and budget holders, leaders working across urban planning, transport planning, placemaking and urban regeneration. 

Expert panels will share their insights on the elements required to create better streets for everyone, including building the case for change, how to secure funding, good engagement, through to design, implementation, completion and monitoring.

Backed by data, there are a host of reasons why people-friendly streets are in all our interests. Not only do Liveable Neighbourhoods ease pressure on the NHS, they also boost local economies. They reduce road danger, improve air quality, strengthen community cohesion, encourage the use of public transport, are good for biodiversity and mitigate the risk of flooding. This event will shed light on the myriad benefits of creating a neighbourhood that is less car-dominant. There will also be the latest information on Transport for London’s Better Bus partnerships and Safer Streets programme.

• How to get projects funded

• Building the right cycling and walking infrastructure
• How to achieve road danger reduction
• Tackling air and noise pollution
