Transport, Society and Place
Transport intersects with working lives and society, and we explore these relationships.
We’re fundamentally concerned with issues that impact working lives globally. This includes:
- transport poverty
- liveability
- social connectedness
- health
- wellbeing
- the impact of mobility expectations
The theme is co-lead by:
Dr Andrew Kingston, Professor Susan Kirk and Professor Geoff Vigar
