Transport and the Olympic Legacy: driving innovation

Extra pressure on London's transport systems during the Olympics is forcing both the public and private sectors to try innovative ways to spread demand and use the road and rail networks more efficiently, from new delivery patterns to greater use of the web and twitter. This event will look at some of the successful innovations which ensured that the goods were delivered and that people got around during the Olympics, and that can be built upon to improve ways in which transport is delivered in London in the future.

Date:                Tuesday 11 September

Venue:             UCL Cruciform Lecture Theatre 1, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT
