In this week’s episode of Keep it Civil, we are joined by Dr Clemence Cavoli from the UCL Centre for Transport Studies, to speak about the past, present, and future trends of transport use. The centre for transport studies is a multidisciplinary research centre at UCL, the work they do covers established transport networks to developing solutions to the cities of the future, all around the globe, and this year celebrated its 50th anniversary.More information on the work done by Clemence and CTS can be found here - https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/iris/browse/profile?upi=CMCAV97 http://www.cege.ucl.ac.uk/cts/Pages/cts.aspx

Keep it Civil 303 - Women in Engineering

For the second episode of series three we are joined by Professor Brian Collins to talk us through the work of the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC), which aims to address the insufficient and unsustainable value extracted by services using national infrastructure. We analyze the motivations for this project, and look at the developments for UK and international infrastructure it will bring about. More information about UKCRIC can be found at www.ukcric.com, you can also follow them on twitter @UKCRIC. More information on the International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure can be found at www.isngi.org.Catch up on past episodes of Keep it Civil (soundcloud.com/cege_ucl/sets/keep-it-civil)Intro &amp; outro music: "Helix Nebula" by Anamanaguchi (freemusicarchive.org/music/Anamanag…-_helix_nebula)

Keep it Civil is back for series two, and we're joined by EngD Researcher Gennaro Senatore to discuss the design philosophy of adaptive building structures he developed here at UCL with the Centre for Urban Sustainability and Resilience (USAR) and Expedition Engineering, with the work sponsored by EPSRC.Unlike conventional structures, adaptive structures are designed to change their shape to prevent excessive movement caused by loads, which allows for super-slender structures that look great and use much less material and less whole-life energy. Follow Gennaro (https://twitter.com/g_senatore), Expedition Engineering (https://twitter.com/EXP_Eng) and USAR (https://twitter.com/UCL_USAR) on Twitter.Find out more about adaptive structures and see the truss mentioned in the podcast at a special exhibition at the London Building Centre until 2nd September 2016 (http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk/exhibitions/adaptive-structures).Find out more about Gennaro's work (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/usar/who-we-are/cdt-students/gennaro-senatore) and see the adaptive responsive truss in action (https://vimeo.com/groups/315224).
