Episode 4: E-scooters and the transport related social exclusion
E-scooters provoke a 'Marmite' love or hate response in many of us. Still being piloted across UK cities, they straddle an uncertain legislative space, with concerns around safety not far from the headlines. Yet there are other important questions raised by this still-emergent form of transport. Dr Daniel Oviedo speaks about the multifaceted dimensions of transport-related social exclusion: from affordability, to fear, discrimination and more. We discuss the conditions that may allow or prohibit people from using E-scooters. We explore how working with researchers from sociology, behaviour change, sustainable transport and industrial engineering – and various stakeholders with local authorities, TFL, and Innovate UK, helped to conceptualise a more inclusive policy approach for E-scooters. Daniel Oviedo is Associate Professor Development and Planning Unit, Bartlet, UCL. For the podcast transcript, details of our other podcasts and activities, visit http://tinyurl.com/mubmxu4n

Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 9: From prehistory to the London blitz: foreshore archaeology and a rising river
Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 9: From prehistory to the London blitz: foreshore archaeology and a rising river When the tide is out, the Thames foreshore is the longest archaeological site in London. The remains cover a wide range of our long history and include prehistoric forests, a Bronze Age bridge, Saxon fish traps, Tudor jetties, later shipyards, watermen's causeways, and the hulks of boats, barges and ships. Our most recent study has even found evidence for bomb-strikes from the London Blitz, exactly 70 years ago. Much of this evidence is suffering from the river's increased erosion or by modern redevelopment. The Thames Discovery Programme team is training up a group of committed Londoners to survey the sites on a regular basis, recording the history on the foreshore before its washed away forever.
