1. Reduce environmental pressures of current

road construction

(identifying options and innovations)

Future of Roads: Project Brief

2. Evaluate the future pressures for roads

(producing an environmental, economic and social framework)

3. Build strategies for implementing the roads
f the future

(using scenario planning)
