'Automation increases the utility of the city for its citizens
because it’s not so congested anymore. There’s more space for business to be done and it’s also a more pleasant space to be in'
'While public transport authorities have been somewhat stuck in their thinking, private operators have begun to fill in the gaps'

Outcome: 3 stories about the future of travel in London
Innovating London:
The story of London re‐inventing itself as a young, urban innovator, where technology changes how people live and work, but leaves some behind
Rebalancing London:
The story of a more equal but ageing society with lower economic growth, that focuses on self‐sufficiency and liveability as world power moves East
Accelerating London:
The story of an ever‐growing, expanding London which acts as the beating heart of the world financial system, but struggles to deliver high quality of life for all
3 Stories about the future
��
Each scenario has distinct implications for travel in London
Travel Implications
Innovating London
Less crowding and congestion
Rebalancing London
��
Travel Implications
Shorter trips in local area
walking and cycling more attractive
��
Travel Implications
High density living increases potential for
public transport
High pressure on radial links into central London
Accelerating London
��
Our plans must be robust to a range of different futures
Major infrastructure projects
Corporate strategy
Mayor’s Transport Strategy policies

Using the scenarios
��
Using the scenarios
a. Reconsider This scheme only meets our objective in our assumed future. Look at other options that meet our objectives in an uncertain future.
c. ProceedThis strategy meets our objective in the majority of scenarios. Proceed but keep scenarios in mind in strategy development.
b. AdjustThis policy doesn’t meet our objective in some of our scenarios. Change the policy to make it work in more scenarios.
