Episode notes
In this episode we take a focus on mobility and access in the City with special guest Peter Malley, Director: Transport at Ratio Consultants. Peter says, "I like doing these things, to give my perspective, and make people think a little bit more..." and we agree! It's time for us to think a little harder about mobility in our cities, and about the circumstances that might bring someone to that experience.
