Listen "A BIG & CLEVER IDEA: AUSTRALIA’S HIGH SPEED RAIL"
Episode Synopsis
Tim Parker has massive experience of successfully managing big urban infrastructure and development projects.In this episode, he shines a light on his unique insights from an impressive CV and speaks with both passion and clarity about leading his latest large-scale project: the Federal Government’s initiative to build high speed rail initially between Newcastle and Sydney on Australia’s east cost, with the ambition to build further on this link in future.This is a massive transport undertaking, promoting a low-carbon transition from car and air over to rail, and economic and housing development and community opportunity – a project of national, and we think international, significance of interest to listeners from a wide range of professional and policy backgrounds and countries. Big ambitions for a big country: seems about right to us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
