At the weekend: I’m sometimes on stage playing the trombone with my band.

An idea that powers me: Helping urban societies transition towards healthy, sustainable travel options that are attractive and feasible for all citizens. Bringing forth processes and systems to enable this change both on the ground (pilots, experiments) and on paper (strategies, policy).
