Editor’s message and January-February 2023 magazine download

Calls for green growth and major infrastructure delivery to be essential elements of the Spring Budget, plus a round-up of the Consultancy and Engineering Awards, are all highlighted in the latest edition of Infrastructure Intelligence magazine, says Rob O’Connor.

The January-February 2023 edition of Infrastructure Intelligence is available to download now.

Welcome to the latest edition of our digital magazine. 

It’s been an incredibly busy start to the year, and there’s lots of important work coming up on the horizon.

The Association for Consultancy and Engineering has called for green growth and major infrastructure delivery to be essential elements of the Spring Budget on 15 March. 

Both are pivotal to the UK’s prospects of social and economic recovery in the years ahead, and I’m sure the industry will be keeping a very close eye on the budget in March. 

Net zero and the future skills shortage were also key themes raised by leading industry figures at one of our roundtables earlier this year.

We also look forward to the first ever Decarbonising Transport Week, which has a series of online events and activity during 6-10 March.

We also have exclusive features on the importance of not letting inflation delay urgently needed improvements to our water and waste infrastructure; the lessons nature can provide to our cities on resilience and wellbeing; and the progress being made in aviation towards jet zero.

And our front cover is unashamedly dedicated to the Consultancy and Engineering Awards, which proved to be an inspirational night for an inspirational industry.
