Seb Dance, London’s deputy mayor for transport and the deputy chair of Transport for London will deliver a keynote address entitled, London – adapting transport networks to meet the challenge of a warmer climate, at the Institution of Civil Engineers’ (ICE) inaugural Resilient Transport conference next month. His speech will cover how London’s transport network is approaching warmer weather, what this means for the design and enhancement of transport infrastructure and explore the impact for people living and working across the city. The conference, taking place in Manchester from 23 to 25 September, will bring together experts working on the practical answers to the problems transport networks face – climate change, ageing assets, and growing demand. With our changing climate and the pressure that growing demand is placing on ageing assets, it’s imperative that transport networks are making changes now to prepare for those around the corner. Other sessions will explore the value of smart infrastructure, systems-thinking approaches to transport networks, how to embed climate resilience in rural transport infrastructure, and more.
