Transport and the Olympic Legacy - Driving Innovation

11th September 2012, 18:30 - 21:00
Cruciform Lecture Theatre 1, Cruciform Building, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT

A panel discussion on how London will deal with the transport challenges from hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games

London Underground

Extra pressure on London's transport systems during the Olympics is forcing both the public and private sectors to try innovative ways to spread demand and use the road and rail networks more efficiently, from new delivery patterns to greater use of the web and twitter. This event will look at some of the successful innovations which ensured that the goods were delivered and that people got around during the Olympics, and that can be built upon to improve ways in which transport is delivered in London in the future.

The panel discussion will be chaired by Prof Peter Jones (UCL Transport & Sustainable Development).
