Impact on society

UK needs London productivity!

• London is most productive part of the UK (and EU!)

• London’s economy is also the most robust

• London fiscal transfers power services throughout UK

Infrastructure “bakes in” societal behaviour for centuries

How big infrastructure happens

Air quality - 21st Century scourge (and 19th, 20th !)

Impact to Health

CO2Impact to Climate

Mitigation

Non-fossil

One cause –

two effects –

same answer

Infrastructure takes decades from conception to fruition…

Crossrail

• Conceived: 1943 / 1944 / 1948 / 1974 / 1989

• Tim’s first involvement: 1992 – bill failed in

1994

• CRL 2001; Bill 2005; Act 2008; start of

construction 2009 / 2010 (thank you Canary

Wharf)

• To open: 2019 ?

How big infrastructure happens

Conception to service 76 / 30 / 18 years; far longer than standard political cycle

London needs very long-term planning to remain successful

Shape the City we want

Fix long-term issues

Conundrum of housing and transport!

Have to be considered together

Ongoing population growth?

Migration versus BREXIT

Most PRODUCTIVE parts of UK have high MIGRATION

Migration is a consequence of success… For less migration, do you have to be less

successful?!

What new transport does London need?

What can LAs do?

What changed on

Crossrail…?

Must be deal on houses

All new rail / or roads too?

More radial?

More orbital – eg river crossings

Transport for the wider city region?

NIC?

And who pays?
