Project is well on the way
The community has discussed current conditions for active travel in Moss Side and contributed a series of aspirational principles that should inform a new strategy for active travel.
CHECK THESE PRINCIPLES on the infographic on the side, which will inform the geodesign process aimed at giving full voice to the community to propose a well-designed, in-depth strategy for planning interventions and policies.

Details about how the Workshop 1 was conducted and its outcomes.
The main outcome of Workshop 1 was the set of principles agreed by the community participants in the workshop for a new strategy for Active travel in Moss Side, with three main areas:
-
Improving shared public spaces in Moss Side
-
Walking, cycling and wheeling safely in Moss Side
-
Promoting a safer traffic system in Moss Side
The community will use these principles in Workshop 2 to submit proposals - concrete interventions, projects, and policies—targeting public spaces, active travel infrastructure, or traffic management within the neighbourhood.
The community is invited to participate in Workshop 2 where they will design the new strategy for active travel in Moss Side.
The workshop will take place on 21 September 2024 at 9.00 am at the William Hulme Grammar School.
You can provide your contributions for new interventions or policies using our geosurvey available at LINK.
We will only collect anonymous data about your contributions.

This is the tool we will be using in Workshop 2 to create the community-led strategy for active travel in Moss Side.
The project is funded by the University of Manchester Office for Open Research Accelerator Fund.
