But it was a draw. Should be good! I encourage more people to go. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18682#post-278330 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 23:08:01 +0000 unhurt 278330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.sciencefestival.co.uk/event-details/the-arup-lecture-future-transport">The Arup Lecture: Future Transport</a><br /> Wednesday 11 April from 20:00-21:30 at NMS. </p> <p>Digital technologies are transforming our transport systems and fully automated travel will soon revolutionise how we get around. However, <strong>are these technologies taking advantage of our new understanding of movement and passenger preferences, or are we merely replicating old systems and infrastructure</strong>? Join Isabel Dedring, former London Deputy Mayor for Transpor and Arup’s Global Transport Leader, to explore how these technologies could - or might not - make our cities safer, healthier and more convenient."</p> <p>Anyone else going? Buying my ticket now... </p>
