How is a major European capital is planning for a car free city centre?
What are the implications on cycling of autonomous vehicles?
How can data be used to improve planning for walking and cycling?

A packed agenda of keynote speeches, Q&As, small presentations, and films will also cover diverse range of topics including: pedestrians’ and cyclists’ experience of sharing spaces, winning business support for cycling infrastructure and the false dichotomy of cycle training versus cycle infrastructure.
