Streets for Diversity webinar

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week, join Dr Katie Gaudion from the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Designand Dan Phillips from the Intelligent Mobility Design Centre, who will be sharing insights from their recent project, Streets for Diversity. They will be joined in conversation by Dr Suzy Charman of the Road Safety Foundation.

Funded by the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund, Streets for Diversity is a research project that aimed to bridge a gap in research about how neurodivergent people experience streets and hypothesised that our current streets and public realm may, by design, exclude those of us that are neurodivergent.

The project invited neurodivergent citizens, researchers, champions and transport experts to participate in a range of co-design activities. These included ‘walk and talks,’ which allowed participants to travel around in urban areas and share their reflections on their experiences in real time. The ‘walk and talks’ were supplemented by online surveys, interviews, and a co-creation workshop, which together explored the challenges and opportunities found in our urban streets.

In this webinar, Katie, Dan and Suzy will be sharing their insights and what they learned about how to make our public spaces more inclusive for everyone. We will be taking questions and, if we have time, open the floor to hear from you too.
