Delivering UK infrastructure

We asked more than 100 industry experts and 1,500 members of the public for their views on infrastructure delivery in the UK. The results make for fascinating reading. Produced in collaboration with Infrastructure Intelligence, 'Perspectives on infrastructure' features 13 in-depth interviews with key industry leaders examining the challenges and opportunities at the heart of the sector.

We want to create an informed debate on the challenges facing UK infrastructure projects. We want to bring the industry together to explore how delivery can be improved. We also want your views on infrastructure – if you would like to participate in future interviews, articles or events, please get in touch.
