CILT President's Lecture 2014

Giving the Annual CILT President's Lecture, Jim Steer FCILT called on decision-makers at national level to take a much more long-term view to address the challenges of population growth, modal shift, changing technology, and how best to 'cluster' communities. He posed fundamental questions about what's needed in the years ahead to address the combined and inter-related challenges of unprecedented demographic growth, marked shifts in the balance of use of the various transport modes and the striking impact of agglomeration economics in London. He argued this amounts to a "burning deck" need for the UK to develop a National Spatial Plan that would ensure new development, housing and transport schemes and projects are planned, scoped, developed and delivered in a way that meets the direct needs of all stakeholders in private and public sectors as well as the local communities they serve. Jim Steer's President's Lecture, entitled "Transport Planning: Back to the Future?", was given in central London to an audience of more than 130 senior transport planners and decision-makers from central government and the private and public sectors traced the evolution of transport planning from its origins in the 1960's.
