Big thank you to Amy Child @Burlwind from @ArupGroup for enlightening delegates on the future of transportation @UDAustralia #AUDC18
Autonomous vehicles are coming, so how do we make sure our cities remain healthy, social and walkable once there’s an easier way to get around? Amy Child and Kylie Nixon are at @ITS_AUSTRALIA #itssummit discussing this now. Read more on this research here ow.ly/XeTq50ij7ce

Many of the core challenges of urban childhoods relate to transport, mobility and access. Hear from Amy Child at the #LiveableCities Conference tomorrow discuss how a child getting around a city independently is a strong indicator of how a city is performing.
