S5 #1 Conversations in Momentum_Michael Barratt

We’re back 🎙️ Season 5 of Conversations in Momentum is officially live - and we’re kicking things off with an inspiring first episode featuring Michael Barratt MBE from TfL. In this episode, we explore what it really takes to create safer, more inclusive streets - and why lived experience must sit at the heart of design. 🔍 Key themes we discuss: • Why designing with people, not just for them, leads to better outcomes • The power of collaboration - from communities to contractors - in making real change happen • Moving beyond 'tick-box' processes to meaningful engagement • Designing for inclusion, including neurodiversity, through simplicity, clarity and empathy Michael shares powerful insights from decades of experience, from early morning road safety patrols to shaping industry guidance, all grounded in one simple principle: be considerate.
