Welcome to ClairCity
The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our world in a
matter of months. Yet through the cracks there have
appeared some fertile shoots of a clean air future that
may, or may not, be here to stay. Air pollution levels are
at their lowest since the 1990s, walking and cycling is at
an all time high, the pedistrianisation and expansion of
cycling infrastructure is a political priority, and for many
working from home is the new normal.

The entire ClairCity team have moved to homeworking
during this time, and our end-of-project conference
was cancelled back in March. It has meant we have
had to come up with alternative digital solutions to
dissemination, and have taken this time to reflect deeply
on how we maintain momentum during times of intense
disruption and sensitivity. I am sure these words resonate
with a lot of our readers!
As a result, within you will find news of a range of
materials that we hope will leave a clean air legacy for
years to come, and are suitable for our online audience.
Read on to find out what these are and how you can make
use of them. Most importantly: sign up to our upcoming
webinar series, the details of which are on page 6.
If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to
get in touch.
