Join us for an insightful webinar with Robert Singleton, Greg Haigh and Marco Picardi from the Department for Transport (DfT), as we explore how transport and spatial planners, built environment professionals and geographers can use the DfT Connectivity Tool to unlock sustainable development opportunities and analyse the spatial connectivity of an area.

The DfT Connectivity Tool helps planners understand how well a place connects people to jobs, services and everyday destinations. It uses national transport and land-use data to show how accessible a location is by walking, cycling, public transport and car helping identify truly sustainable places.
