Momentum is a consultancy that prides itself on its progressive, considered and designed approach. From the spaces we design, to the communities we shape and the innovations and initiatives we seek to sponsor, Momentum is an entity that dares to reshape traditional ideas regarding the role transport and micro-mobility plays in the built environment to ensure our future cities cater for those who interact with it.
What can a mega-event leave behind beyond the final whistle?
In the latest episode of Conversations in Momentum, Amelie Cosse is joined by Hassan Madhoun from Momentum in Houston, Cassie Hoeprich of @Downtown Houston+, and Krista Nightengale of @Better Block to reflect on Via Futbol (Follow the Blue Hexagons: Via Futbol Helps Fans Navigate Downtown | Downtown Houston) - a project in Houston that used the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a catalyst for more walkable, welcoming, people-first streets.
In this conversation they discuss:
- how tactical urbanism supported World Cup crowds
- why pedestrian comfort, shade, wayfinding and public space matter
- how temporary interventions can shape long-term city change
- what Houston learned from testing new ideas at street level
Together, they reflect on how a major event can do more than move crowds - it can help cities test ideas, support local businesses and create a lasting legacy for communities.

S5 #1 Conversations in Momentum_Michael Barratt
We’re back 🎙️
Season 5 of Conversations in Momentum is officially live - and we’re kicking things off with an inspiring first episode featuring Michael Barratt MBE from TfL. In this episode, we explore what it really takes to create safer, more inclusive streets - and why lived experience must sit at the heart of design.
🔍 Key themes we discuss:
• Why designing with people, not just for them, leads to better outcomes
• The power of collaboration - from communities to contractors - in making real change happen
• Moving beyond 'tick-box' processes to meaningful engagement
• Designing for inclusion, including neurodiversity, through simplicity, clarity and empathy
Michael shares powerful insights from decades of experience, from early morning road safety patrols to shaping industry guidance, all grounded in one simple principle: be considerate.
