2025 marks 200 years of the modern railway.
To coincide with this, join Centre for Cities and panellists for a webinar on the role rail has played in the development of the UK’s cities, and the importance of transport connectivity in the 21st century.
Discussion will focus on the differing roles of intracity vs intercity rail and importance of public transport connectivity in supporting urban economic growth more broadly.
Speakers:
Huw Merriman, Former Minister of State for Transport
Silviya Barrett, Director of Policy and Campaigns, Campaign for Better Transport
Anne Shaw OBE, Executive Director of Transport for West Midlands
Chair: Andrew Carter, Chief Executive
This event is aimed at people working in transport, policy and urban economics, but is open for anyone with an interest who wishes to attend.
