Luca Leone (Architect-Planner, Director of Cambridge Architectural Research Ltd (CAR))
Local government has ambitious plans for upgrading the transport system of Greater Cambridge. But does the emerging approach add up to a coherent strategy capable of meeting the current and future needs of one of the fastest-growing regions of the UK? Luca Leone argues for a holistic vision, encompassing a hierarchy of integrated public transport modes, traffic restraint and pollution reduction measures, the expansion of cycling and walking, and the conservation and enhancement of the natural and built environment of Greater Cambridge.
