Reimagining Motion is our podcast for the High Volume Transport Applied Research Programme (HVT). In our third season we will shine a light on the inequalities across the transport sector and explore how those currently excluded need to not only be the beneficiaries of development, but importantly that they are agents of change driving that development. Each episode draws on the latest HVT research, case studies and newly developed frameworks offering insights and practical ideas for addressing climate change in the land transport sector. HVT is funded by the UK's Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office. The views expressed do not represent the views of the UK government.
