This report from the Royal Town Planning Institute argues that transport infrastructure, uniquely, has the ability to open up previously undevelopable land which can then be used for housing and provide new opportunities for employment activity, but because this is rarely an immediate consequence and the benefits are difficult to quantify, it is not fully accounted for in cost-benefit analyses. The result has been that too few infrastructure projects which could have acted as a catalyst to growth have been approved.

The St Kjeld district of Copenhagen is set to become the city’s first climate-resilient neighbourhood. A report outlines the plans for the area, which would see an increase in green space and the ability to manage 30% of daily rainwater locally, rather than channelling it to the sewer system. The vision for the district aims to improve the local environment alongside protecting people from flooding caused by heavy rain.
