The government has revealed plans for two new centres that will demonstrate how technology and innovation can improve services and quality life in cities and develop integrated, efficient and sustainable national transport systems. The Future Cities and Transport Systems Catapult centres will help stimulate economic growth by focusing on innovations that will give UK businesses a technological edge in global markets that could be worth hundreds of billions per year. The Technology Strategy Board (www.innovateuk.org) will work with UK business to establish the centres in the coming months. Both Catapult centres will bring together UK business and SMEs, (city) governments and academia to encourage businesses to develop exciting new ideas. They will also allow ideas to be demonstrated in a controlled environment and later developed into commercial products and services to be sold all over the world.
The Future Cities Catapult centre will look at ways to integrate city functions and services efficiently, putting the citizen at the heart of its operations. This will address a wide number of problems experienced in cities today, such as changes to population, demographics climate, congestion and healthcare. These issues are putting pressure on key resources within cities.
The Transport Systems Catapult centre will focus on efficient and sustainable ways to move people and goods (freight) across national transport systems including road, rail, sea and air. Current transport systems are under increasing pressure from the rise in population and transportation needs.

Improving river services in London

The London Assembly Transport Committee’s update report sets out four key actions that are needed if the Mayor’s ambition to see passenger journeys on the Thames hit 12 million a year are to become a reality. Since the Committee’s previous review of river services in 2006, there have been some developments in the expansion of river services and passenger numbers have grown, but the service is still not reaching its full potential. The Committee believes the potential for further growth is hampered by the absence of a clear strategic plan to drive improvements and a lack of commitment from Transport for London.
