Professor Sarah Sharples, vice-president and dean of science and engineering at the University of Manchester, will chair the event, bringing her extensive expertise to guide the conversation.
The session will begin with a keynote address from Rachel Fisher, chief executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), setting the scene for a discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector.
Attendees will hear firsthand from experts behind some of the UK's most ambitious transport and regeneration projects, gaining valuable insight into the opportunities, challenges and collaborative approaches driving successful delivery, including:
- Clare Maltby, head of transport strategy at East Midlands Combined County Authority
- David Strassburg, associate director (Transportation) at Egis
- Paul Seddon, strategic director - Planning Transport and Regeneration at Nottingham City Council
- Georgia Collard-Watson, associate principal at Grimshaw
The presentations will be followed by a 'question time' style panel discussion exploring how professionals from different disciplines and sectors can work together to deliver sustainable transport solutions and create better outcomes for communities.
The event will conclude with audience Q&A, providing delegates with the opportunity to put their questions directly to the panel and contribute to the conversation.
