Recent @manchester.ac.uk graduate Toby Piper won the @tgrg-rgs-ibg.bsky.social award for Best Undergraduate Dissertation for his project sparked by his experience of transport infrastructure growing up in rural Wiltshire. Read Toby's blog 👉 transportgeography.org.uk/2025/10/26/b...
Photo of smiling young man with text that reads: Winner: Best Undergraduate Dissertation - Transport Geography Research Group Text reads: “My project grew out of both personal experience and academic inquiry. Growing up in rural Wiltshire, I became acutely aware of the constraints of rural mobility. I explored how mobility – or the lack of – shapes young people’s opportunities, sense of belonging, and well-being in rural environments.” Toby Piper
