AGENDA

• 1. CONTEXT

Present recommendations and actions to ensure London’s infrastructure requirements to 2050 are articulated, costed and funding arrangements are in place (as far as possible). Demonstrate to the Government, Londoners and investors that infrastructure is a key priority and that London has a clear plan to meet the demands of its growing population and remain a leading world city. Ensure the Infrastructure Investment Plan is supported and deliverable, through active engagement of key stakeholders. Provide the Mayor and other London leaders with the information to understand and critically appraise London’s infrastructure delivery.

AIMS

POLICY BACKGROUND

• London Finance Commission
• 2020 Vision
• London First Infrastructure Commission
• London Housing Strategy
• London Plan
• Smart London Plan

INFRASTRUCTURE IS VITAL

LONDON’S INFRASTRUCTURE IS A COMPETITIVE RISK..

Space for walking and cycling Housing Congestion Connectivity Aviation

…AND ITS POPULATION IS GROWING

MAJOR BENEFITS FROM MORE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT

• More jobs and growth
• A better city to live in:

– Less congested, better connections across the transport system, safe and accessible to all – Being able to connect to the ‘internet of things’ from every corner of the city – Housing, schools and great communities for all – Reusing more materials to save money and the environment – Sustainable and affordable energy and water – More and better green space

• 2. APPROACH

FOUR CRITICAL QUESTIONS

• 3. REQUIREMENTS

OVERALL

TRANSPORT (1)

Enable 36 trains per hour across the Jubilee, Piccadilly, Northern and Central line

Tube investment £15-18 bn Transform national commuter rail network through joint investment with Network Rail (£15-20 bn)

Crowding levels on the tube network 2031

Further ‘Crossrails’ starting with Crossrail 2 by 2030 and increasing frequency of Crossrail 1 trains (£23-30 bn)

Bakerloo line extension

TRANSPORT (2)

A congestion- busting programme to support network functioning for essential journeys (£2-5bn)

A series of new river crossings in east London to overcome the major barrier effect constraining the potential of this region (£1-2bn) A comprehensive network of high quality cycle and pedestrian routes (£2-4bn) A new inner orbital tooled tunnel and series of mini-tunnels and decking over to help transform places across the city (£15- 25bn)

GREEN

DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY

Before 2020s…and beyond Fibre and wireless access to the internet To enable new ideas

ENERGY

More investment in locally produced energy (£300million in the pipeline)

WATER

Expected a deficit in water supply of over half a billion litres a day by 2050 About 16% of London is built

• n the

protected flood plains of our rivers that holds critical infrastructure. More investment is needed in flood defences that can cope with climate changes and aging existing infrastructure defences.

Sewage Flood defence

• 4. SPATIAL ASPECTS

• 2. SPATIAL SCENARIOS

Accommodating population

• utside London

Assuming current policies continue Increasing densities in locations with good public access. Increasing densities at town centres.

• 5. BETTER DELIVERY

Split governance across and within sectors Regulatory frameworks inhibiting developments, innovation and efficiencies Pace of innovation and technological change [other?]

MAIN FINDINGS…

INNOVATION AND TECH TO BE AT THE CORE OF OUR WORK

Embrace existing and new technologies (such as BIM) Hardwiring innovation (through projects such as Crossrail) Open to radical change (with projects such as solar roads)

• A new Infrastructure Delivery Group
• Work to gain cross party support and

commitment to London’s infrastructure projects

• Reforms to the regulatory systems (energy,

water and ICT) to enable delivery ahead of demand

• Fiscal devolution
• Welcome further suggestions

What more in addition to the Delivery Board to ensure best practice joined up delivery? 5. Where will London’s growth best be accommodated? 6. Amend incentives for utility providers to share costs more equitably? How to do this? 7. Approach to technological change? Which innovations? 8. How to change behaviours to reduce demand?
