Whilst we can’t be sure what the transport networks of tomorrow will look like, planning for new infrastructure that can evolve for all users whilst remaining sustainable - has to start today.

SYSTRA’s vision focuses on creating solutions that enhance urban mobility and improve quality of life.

SYSTRA is at the forefront of that thought leadership in transport planning. Our specialist teams are focused on shaping a vision for multimodal networks across the UK and Ireland. 

We remain proactive in developing a deliverable vision for the future – one that addresses social and environmental challenges whilst promoting inclusivity, equity and the platform for strong economic growth. 

SYSTRA at Future 2050 Summit

The Future 2050 Summit is a new event organised by Landor LINKS Live and Local Transport Today, in Partnership with SYSTRA. 

The day-long conference and summer reception will bring together leading thinkers, policymakers, and innovators to explore how transport systems can drive a sustainable, equitable, and thriving society by 2050. 

SYSTRA will be presenting a range of potential future scenarios and outcomes that will result from hypothesised trajectories. Where will transport be in 25 years? From today’s starting point, where will demand pathways take us? 

We want to develop these themes and perspectives through rich debate and expert insight. Bringing thought-leaders together from across sectors and industries is a fantastic way to generate discussion and provide diversity of opinion. 

We hope Future 2050 will set the foundations of a future direction – one that will be taken forward by future leaders and technical staff within SYSTRA. 

Across all aspects of our consultancy and engineering offer, we are committed to developing the skills of our colleagues to futureproof our specialisms and insights. 

It’s our aim to ensure our teams continue to lead in the transport planning space through providing robust evidence bases and clear direction. Our colleagues have the opportunities and abilities to work beyond the current constraints of transport thinking. It’s our shared vision to deliver a prosperous future for all.

Breaking the mould of current thinking

The Future 2050 event in London will explore the likely context for transport decision-making over the next 25 years.

To help spark conversation and set the scene, some of our specialists have put forward their scenarios for scrutiny. They don’t cover all avenues of human development, but provide an insight into routes society may find itself heading down. 

Future One considers a life lived local, Future Two looks at a direction where technology takes the lead, and Future Three explores a draconian world shaped by environmental collapse and political centralisation. 

These articles will feature in Local Transport Today over the coming weeks, but you can read short summaries from the May edition by clicking the link below.
