Transportation Part 5: Urban Design

Michael talks with Professor Eric Miller, Director of the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute about how the design of cities affects our transportation emissions.
Michael and Dr. Miller talk about people’s travel behaviours within cities, the role of the car, public transit, urban form, connectivity, and density. They discuss the role of active transportation and the politics of urban transportation. They touch on the barriers to implementing change, and the organizational structure of urban transit. Finally, they offer strategies for citizens to get involved when it comes to making urban transportation more sustainable.
