Professor Stephen Glaister, RAC Foundation and Imperial College, London
ICE/TRF Fellows Lecture 2010
England already has some of the most crowded roads in the world. Government expects a rise in population of 16% by 2033 and a return to economic growth. All indications are that traffic and congestion will increase.
At a time when it seems inevitable there will be significant cuts in national and local public expenditure, Professor Glaister believes that it is unclear how plans for road and rail will be financed, and suggests that nobody has a coherent strategy for investment.
In this lecture, Professor Glaister looks at the problems and the myths, and calls for reform and a realistic long term strategy for roads. 'Doing nothing', he says, is not an option.
