Reclaiming our roads
from City Road Podcast Hosted by Stories about cities and urban life
Reclaiming our roads - what sort of images does that conjure up? It’s a fascinating and pretty radical idea. Perhaps it’s something we could be taking a little more seriously in the wake of soaring oil prices. A recent study from the US estimates that roadways account for 25-35% of urbanised land mass - perhaps more than a third of our towns and cities are roads. In this live recording from the 2025 Festival of 'Regenerative' Urbanism, we hear from experts Sara Stace, cycling advocate and president of Better Streets, who also featured in our recent City Road episode on e-bikes and e-scooters; Eamon Waterford, Committee for Sydney think tank; Professor Kevin Krizek, University of Colorado Boulder; and Dr Jennifer Kent, Senior Research Fellow, University of Sydney. Collectively, the panel discuss how we can reclaim our roads for regeneration. This recording is from the 2025 Festival of Regenerative Urbanism, held by the Henry Halloran Urban and Regional Research Initiative.
