Interested in developing a system, product, or service to support the sustainable transport offering in a new smart city?
At our Summer School you’ll be given the opportunity and creative freedom to address this very challenge in a design sprint. You’ll come up with pioneering ideas to inform the future transport needs of Canada Water; set to be the first new town centre in London in 50 years.
Transport enables the movement of people and goods, is a catalyst for almost any business, and is key to inclusive communities. But transport is also the largest source of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the UK, accounting for 26% of all emissions in 2021.
Our summer school is the opportunity for aspiring changemakers to work in teams and investigate and propose innovative, sustainable solutions, in collaboration with TEDI-London faculty and industry experts from Network Rail, Transport for London, and British Land.
