Summary | Adaptive planning to deliver our strategic vision in an uncertain future
Adaptive planning to deliver our strategic vision in an uncertain future. Scenario planning is used to explore uncertainty about the future, providing enhanced information and testing to improve the resilience of long-term plans.
This note examines some critical uncertainties relating to the sustainability of transport across the UK and, within that, the North. Also focuses on critical uncertainties related to carbon, taxation and spending.
This note sets out five important societal factors that could have an influence on future travel and the uncertainties surrounding them when thinking forward to 2050. Its aim is to generate discussion about how these may play out in the region in future and the potential impacts on travel.
Provides examples of long term trends and potential policy developments relating to spatial planning which are likely to have an impact on travel outcomes, an influence on TfN’s transport strategy, and on environmental, social and economic outcomes across the Northern Powerhouse.
This note examines how growth in population and economy may change during the next 30 years, and what the key drivers of any change will be.
Transport and mobility is in the throes of a (r)evolution. Technological change and advancement is occurring across modes of transport – walking, road, rail, water and air – changing business models, altering operational regimes and delivering new services for customers.
