Back in June 2020, I gave a presentation (for Salford University’s Healthy Active Citiies group) on how children, families and play might fit in to the active travel agenda, particularly in the context of the covid-19 crisis and our recovery from it.

I’ve been meaning to link this from my blog for months: you can listen again to my short (11 minute) presentation here: https://blogs.salford.ac.uk/healthyactivecities/family-fun-making-active-travel-inclusive-for-families/.

Some of the ideas in this presentation are developed in this short paper, on Beyond active travel: children, play and community on streets during and after the coronavirus lockdown, written with Wendy Russell.
