How can a Healthy Streets approach work for all London boroughs?

The draft Mayor's Transport Strategy sets out policies and proposals to reshape transport in London over the next 25 years. It advocates a Healthy Streets Approach, creating streets and street networks that encourage walking, cycling and public transport use, so reducing car dependency and the health problems it creates. How will this work?

  • Will Norman, Walking & Cycling Commissioner, London

  • Patricia Brown, Change Expert & CEO, Central Consulting & the Commission on the Future of London’s Roads and Streets

  • Steve Gooding, Director, RAC Foundation
