Abstract

Good infrastructure helps transform our society for the better. However, the way we use and interact with this infrastructure is shifting. We face vastly changing demographics, along with increasing urbanisation and digital transformation. We want projects that are built bigger, better and quicker not to mention more resilient. The UK's strategic infrastructure network is what helps make our country run, and politicians from all parties have acknowledged this. As the UK re-positions itself on the global stage, improving the performance of our networks has never been more important.
