About this listen

In this episode of the City-REDI / WMREDI, University of Birmingham podcast, we examine transport in the West Midlands. Dr Magda Cepeda Zorrilla discusses future mobility with Mike Waters, Director of Policy, Strategy & Innovation, Transport for West Midlands (TFWM).


They discuss:

  • The rise in homeworking since the pandemic and its impact on regional transport.
  • How TFWM has responded to covid-19.
  • The 15-minute city and the 20-minute neighbourhood.
  • Funding for transport in the West Midlands and involving the public in how the funds are spent.
  • The electrification of transport and tackling congestion.
  • The move towards sustainable transportation and living in the West Midlands.


This podcast is part of a larger project looking at Megatrends in the West Midlands. Megatrends are major movements or patterns or trends that are having a transformative impact on business, economy, society, cultures and personal lives. The project examines some of these megatrends in a series of provocations, podcasts and a report.
