On 31 March 2021, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group – a group of 97 cities around the world – came together to demand historic levels of investment in public transport to ensure a green and just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Underpinning this campaign was research carried out over a period of just two months by WSP’s team in Canada, which provided a solid evidence base to support the mayors of these cities in arguing for an injection of funds by national governments into their mass transit infrastructure. 

Pre-feasibility design work and planning work for a pioneering hydrogen project that will put the UK at the forefront of net zero innovation. At WSP, we’ve advised gas distribution company Cadent as they lead this energy transition project through its lifecycle and to provide a new way to power the UK’s industry and communities. 

With the funding under Global Environment Facility (GEF), WSP will utilize Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) planning expertise to improve and enhance the liveability and accessibility of Nanchang, the capital city of Jiangxi province in mid China.

After an absence of more than 60 years, significant volumes of freshwater is again flowing through the Te Awa o Ngātoroirangi / Maketu Estuary on the Bay of Plenty Coast in New Zealand. Mud crabs, tuangi (cockles), and titiko (mud snails) have all started to recolonize the area.

We are playing a key role in shaping plans for urban renewal in inner-city Sydney.

Health and wellbeing is at the heart of our work with UK local authorities, replacing the decades-old obsession with single-occupancy car movement. Our street design guidance is helping councils create compact, sociable neighborhoods, while our active transportation advice seeks to take advantage of the cycling and walking boom since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hope is that many of the lessons learnt will remain long after the pandemic subsides, and that we can respond positively to seismic shifts in how we use the spaces around us. This will enable us to promote healthier lifestyles and cater for diverse communities, while tackling carbon impacts.
