Jon Harris, International Professional Development Coordinator at the Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics, will take to the stage in Wroclaw this June to offer insights into the ways in which Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning tools are evolving across Europe.
Building on detailed case studies from the UK and the EU Endurance programme, Jon will focus on the future shape of SUMPs from a Central and Eastern European perspective, and examine how use of the tools and associated approaches to transport planning can help tighten East-West trade.
Jon will also unpack the importance of the ‘people first’ approach to transport planning and explore how this method can foster better national and international connectivity without adversely affecting the quality of life in towns and cities.
Jon has over 25 years’ experience in the field of town and transport planning, covering everything from policy to implementation, in both rural and urban settings. He has worked on a wide variety of projects for both public and private sector clients, dealing with major development planning applications, multimodal studies, public inquiries, local authority transport bids, public transport and park and ride schemes, traffic management proposals, cycling and walking projects, school travel, sustainable transport projects, and travel awareness/behaviour programmes.
