Organised by CIHT South East, a Teams webinar looking at, Carbon Highways: The History, Sociology and Science.
This webinar, organsied by CIHT South East, will look at the history, sociology and science of Carbon Highways.
What’s the object of highways? It used to be vehicles. Now, it’s carbon (climate change). How did we get here? What were the turning points? Then, what’s the social dynamics that forced the change to carbon? And how does the change to carbon challenge the science of transport investment?
This webinar will be of particular interest to transport planners, although the audience will be encouraged to look deeply carbon highways and will be of interest to anyone who thinks deeply about public space.
The talk will bring out the forces that will mould the gizmos of the future. Our frames (ways of thinking) and tools will have to change drastically in response to climate change and digitalisation, with the space of transport now strongly complex (intensely interconnected and fast-moving).
Dr Fred Amonya
Dr Amonya is a Chartered Engineer, Fellow CIHT, and holds a PhD in policy science, advising both public and private entities on infrastructure and complexity, given the excitations of climate change and digitalisation. He also lectures graduate schools around the world.
Dr Amonya helps Fortune 500 companies in London craft corporate strategies in response to climate change and digitalisation. They bring out the dynamical systems of infrastructure investment and sketch corporate trajectories.
Furthermore, Dr Amonya has just finished a 4-year tour as Chair, Transport Systems Economics, PIARC. There he led policy makers and academics in attempting to understand transport investment across the world by constructing their policy spaces as dynamical systems. Occasionally, he teaches infrastructure and complexity.
This webinar will be hosted on Microsoft Teams, on completion of booking you will receive a link to the event.
