of the UK (and EU!)

most robust
• London fiscal transfers power
services throughout UK

One cause –
two effects –
same answer

27. Infrastructure takes decades from conception to fruition…
Crossrail
• Conceived: 1943 / 1944 / 1948 / 1974 / 1989
• Tim’s first involvement: 1992 – bill failed in
1994
• CRL 2001; Bill 2005; Act 2008; start of
construction 2009 / 2010 (thank you Canary
Wharf)
• To open: 2019 ?
How big infrastructure happens
Conception to service 76 / 30 / 18 years; far longer than standard political cycle

28. London needs very long-term planning to remain successful
Shape the City we want
Fix long-term issues
Conundrum of housing and transport!
Have to be considered together
Ongoing population growth?
Migration versus BREXIT
Most PRODUCTIVE parts of UK have high MIGRATION
Migration is a consequence of success… For less migration, do you have to be less
successful?!

29. What new transport does London need?
What can LAs do?
What changed on
Crossrail…?
Must be deal on houses
All new rail / or roads too?
More radial?
More orbital – eg river crossings
Transport for the wider city region?
NIC?
And who pays?
