Vauxhall Pleasure raises important issues surrounding sustainable transport, planning and pollution. In collaboration with researchers from the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development (OISD) and Department of Planning at Oxford Brookes University and the University of Oxford’s Transport Studies Unit and Centre for the Environment (OUCE) we have invited artists, authors, campaigners and researchers to come and talk about their experiences and explore and debate these issues. The symposium is open to all and is free to attend but please book a place in advance.
