If you are teaching about Sustainable Transport you might be interested in a new resource which was launched on 22nd June by an organisation called Foresight, which is linked to the Department for Trade and Industry, and the Office of Science and Innovation.The resource is called a CHANGE OF PLACE.
Click for an 18 page teacher guide on the project.
Also on the site is a series of resources:
  • a range of task sheets in PDF format
  • a selection of comic strip style activity tasks
  • some supporting powerpoint presentations
  • a board game to play
  • a selection of images
Very good for looking at the future for cities. Would be useful for GCSE and also some of new AS planning.
