About me
Ben is an Associate Professor in Transport Planning working in UWE Bristol's Centre for Transport & Society. His interests span the planning, design and regulation of healthy built environments (from city to street scale) that support safe and efficient forms of mobility (efficient in terms of energy, space, time and cost), for all groups in society.
Ben's work in Transport Planning brings together research, practice and education. He teaches all aspects of transport planning and engineering on undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.
