Join us for an engaging and forward-thinking webinar presented by Urbis and City Science, exploring how carbon emissions can be quantified and embedded into transport planning. As the climate crisis continues to demand urgent action, transport planning plays a critical role in shaping our path to Net Zero. A vital step in this journey is the ability to assess and communicate the carbon impacts of our transport decisions. This session will showcase a recent collaboration between Urbis and UK-based firm City Science, focused on a groundbreaking project for Inner West Council in Sydney. The project explored innovative methods to assess transport recommendations through a sustainability lens, using City Science’s evidence-led, needs-based approach and proprietary analytical tools.
More than 1.3 million people die each year on the world’s roads, and another 20 to 50 million are seriously injured. Despite continued and increasing efforts over the past decade, road trauma rates have risen globally. In 2024 alone, 282 lives were lost on Victorian roads. How can we leave a safer road legacy for communities now and into the future? Join us for this unique, debate-style event where teams will explore various aspects of road safety, with audience participation through Mentimeter to create a truly collaborative discussion.

Machine Learning is a form of artificial intelligence concerned with the self-development (without instruction) of rules and algorithms by computers. The area draws from a range of other disciplines including statistics, computer science and neural networks. The use of machine learning is rapidly changing the way we process and understand the world in a variety of fields including engineering and planning. Transport has often been an early adopter of such tools for addressing some of the complex problems that we face. As a tool to assess aspects of travel behaviour and achieve efficiencies in our networks, machine learning has many advantages over traditional approaches but also has some limitations as well. This seminar explores some of these aspects with consideration to its application in real world transport planning cases and how they can transform how we shape the future.
