CPC Future Foresights
This report, a collaborative effort between Connected Places Catapult and a consortium led by Transport for West Midlands, North Lanarkshire Council, Amey, and Colas, aims to empower local authorities to plan and implement strategies for decarbonising road infrastructure by addressing the external drivers accelerating low carbon materials innovation. This involves identifying, trialling, and procuring novel materials to replace carbon–intensive ones. The contents of this report aims to de–risk decision–making, align stakeholders with a shared understanding of anticipated events, and provide a foundation for the development of shared strategies.
