Steering Change - Reflections on the Political Challenges of Advancing Active Transport

A free, one-hour lecture, hosted by Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education. The event will be live-streamed from our Lecture Theatre, so you have the option to join us online or in person.

In Steering Change, Rob Stokes — first Minister for Active Transport in Australia — reflects on the political and policy challenges of championing walking and cycling infrastructure in a car-centric world.

Drawing on experience from the frontlines of government, he shares strategies for persuading treasury officials of the economic value of active transport and techniques for building lasting community support.

This is a timely and practical look at how to turn good ideas into real change on our streets.
