Connected Future Cities - WSP - Giles Perkins, head of future mobility

1. Future Mobility and impacts on place
Giles Perkins, Head of Future Mobility, UK
28th March 2019

2. “We need to work out what we think about that,
why it matters, what the drivers of change are,
and how we can build a consensus that can
sustain itself over time. And this is a huge
challenge. A challenge for us in government, but
also a challenge for you, a challenge for
everyone.”
Rt. Hon Jesse Norman MP
Minister of State for DfT
Jan 2019
Future Mobility is now

3. “The next chapter in the story of the
Jaguar and Land Rover brands will be the
most exciting - and challenging - in our
history.
…investing in cleaner, smarter, more
desirable cars and electrifying our
facilities to manufacture a future range of
British-built electric vehicles will all form
part of building a globally competitive
and flourishing company.”
Prof. Dr. Ralf Speth,
Chief Executive Officer,
Jaguar Land Rover,
