Movement and inclusion
Reducing the reliance on vehicles and associated transport-related pollution and carbon emissions, through encouraging efficient, effective movement by a wide range of transport modes, is a crucial aim in creating a sustainable Sheffield. Planning can assist in achieving this through promoting walking and cycling, integrating inclusive design principles and facilitating the development of travel plans and the creation of car clubs.
Use the links on the left for guidance and information on how Movement and Inclusion issues affect sustainable development. These points should be addressed within your Sustainability Statement.
