As Sydneysiders, we use public transport to go about our daily lives! But as we take trains, ferries, buses, and light rail, we likely take the systems—and the complex legacy of more than 165 years of planning and development—for granted. For this month’s AITPM Young Professionals event, we’ll take the chance to learn about the everyday infrastructure that keeps Sydney moving. The tour will take us on a journey to explore unique spaces and hear stories that reveal the history of the city’s transport networks, from hidden tunnels beneath Hyde Park, to the missing platforms at Wynyard, to the Battle of Central Station that changed the Australian relationship with alcohol. We will be led by architect, urban designer, and academic Michael Kahn, who recently completed his PhD examining architecture’s role in helping shape the mega transport projects reshaping the city.

In 2019-2020, Cred Consulting were engaged by the City of Sydney and the global organisation, C40 Women4Climate Initiative to undertake research about how women travel around Greater Sydney and whether they walk and/or cycle as part of their everyday journeys. Standard transport planning metrics only focus on commuting to and from work in peak periods. This creates a data gap around the use of active transport for complex trips, which are more often made by women, thereby resulting in policy decisions that potentially disadvantage how women travel around Greater Sydney. Grounded in the power of women to make change, the research explored the key drivers, enabling factors and level of use of active transport by women for complex trips (those that involve trip chaining and/ or transporting a dependent person on a single journey). Join us for a conversation with lead author, April McCabe (Cred Consulting) to discuss the recommendations of the research, heard some stories from the 'go al
