In today’s episode we are focusing on the government’s latest - and long awaited - 10 year infrastructure strategy.

Because after decades of underinvestment, fragmented planning, and inconsistent delivery, the government has finally published what is perhaps the most comprehensive and ambitious infrastructure strategy in a generation. 

Backed by at least £725 billion of public funding over the next decade, the new 10-Year Strategy for Infrastructure aims to chart a long-term path for economic renewal, regional growth, and national resilience.

So it’s quite a moment!

And to discuss this milestone document I am joined by James Corrigan, managing director for infrastructure at consultant Turner and Townsend,

At T and T, James ‘s day job is working with clients to turn this kind of aspiration into reality, making him well placed to guide us through this new strategy and explore the challenges and opportunities it presents.

There’s a lot in it!  How to reshape the way the UK plans and delivers infrastructure; how we address critical issues like climate change, digital connectivity, housing, and economic growth, and what it all means for investors, local authorities, and communities.

Let’s get into it
