This webinar will share international research on advances in the integration of sustainability in infrastructure transportation projects – during planning, design, construction and operations.

This webinar shares the main outcomes from international research on advances in the integration of sustainability in infrastructure transportation projects – during planning, design, construction and operations.

In this webinar Kerry will discuss:

• Development of infrastructure sustainability rating tool use;
• Outcomes and value experienced with rating tool use;
• Flow-on effects of tool use – influence beyond single projects;
• Success factors – at the project and the programme level;
• Recognition of the learning curve – for infrastructure owners and for project teams.

Learning outcomes:

• Understanding of infrastructure sustainability rating tools for civil infrastructure projects – what and how used;
• Knowledge of the value and outcomes achieved through rating tool use – as experienced in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US;
• Understanding of the factors which influence achievement of sustainability outcomes through rating tool use;
• Increasing awareness of how rating tools can be used formally and informally.

SUSTAINABILITY IN TRANSPORT SERIES

This webinar is part of a series cohosted by The Sustainability Society and the Transportation Group, and supported by EngineeringNZ, to stimulate discussion and knowledge sharing across a range of sustainability issues within the transportation arena. This series is relevant not only to transportation professionals but to the wider built environment and urban planning community where considerations of movement, accessibility and resilience are crucial to taking a system-wide integrated approach to our cities.

More sessions to be held from early 2019 and announced soon.
