Abstract:
The objective of the day’s sessions is to demonstrate that it is imperative that Critical
Thinking is applied in every aspect of transport planning and transport systems
(infrastructure and services). This session will provide some take-away common thoughts
that emanate from them.
The concept of “Critical Thinking”, “divergent thinking”, “blue-sky thinking” purely means
taking a wider perspective view on all tasks at all levels of detail and complexity. Without
that those initial perspectives, the development of transport plans and infrastructure
designs can result in undesirable consequences, either in the end result or the cost of
repeat work during the design process.
This session will summarise the common threads and plant the seed for a proliferation of
Critical thinking.
