Tackling transport pollution is a complex challenge that goes beyond tackling exhaust emissions. The focus of the Mobility theme is on all aspects related to the movement of people, goods and services, contributing to the planning, design, operations and management of infrastructures, for the promotion of the health and wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants. 

With the zero pollution mobility theme we bring together research threads across Imperial College London that range from radical new technologies to innovative methods of infrastructure operations and management, to novel insights into behaviour change and societal engagement techniques and improved methods for the assessment of impacts. We work with a wide range of external partners across the research, business, government, media and quasi-governmental sectors, and public engagement in different forms is a critical pillar of our research efforts. 

Theme Champions

This theme is led by Dr Audrey de Nazelle (Centre for Environmental Policy), Dr Sean Beevers (School of Public Health) and Dr Aruna Sivakumar (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering).
