Episode description

Can humans be social from 2m away? How can we shape urban space to bring us together now that Covid-19 has made us suspicious of strangers, fearful of shopping and transport, and locked us down, apart? Nick Tyler is Director of the UCL Centre for Transport Studies, Chadwick Professor of Civil Engineering, UCL and Director of CRUCIBLE Centre for Lifelong Health and Wellbeing at University College London, where his research investigates the ways in which people interact with their immediate environments. At this online event, Tyler talks about the challenges in designing social spaces in the new normal of physical distancing
