, and the Alderman responsible for transport and mobility policy.
He took over the portfolio and immediately set about trying to make Ghent a more beautiful, peaceful city.
As I can confirm from having visited, he really succeeded! But not without a lot of difficulty, even including death threats.
Today’s episode is a masterclass in the art of transport changemaking: the focus on experimentation, clear strategy and the need for urgency.
He also highlights the power of storytelling, the limitations of data and highlights that, despite the death threats, the Circulation Plan helped him increase his majority at the next election.
Come with me to Belgium and see just what a motivated, inspiring transport changemaker can do.

David Milner on The Design of Cities - and on Trams
Why don’t we build homes people wish to live in? Terraced streets are popular and sustainable and support shops, services and transport, so why do we keep building low-density, car-dependent suburbs? And what needs to be done to create a nationwide tram renaissance?
These are just some of the questions I get into in discussion with David Milner, the MD of Create Streets.
Create Streets is a curious outfit: officially, it’s a design consultancy. But it has a policy and lobbying arm, and is highly influential with the current Government. Not bad for just 10 people…
If, like me, you would love to see some big changes in how we design and build towns, this is an episode you’ll enjoy.
