Overview
The Course explores the relationships between transport systems, infrastructure, investment, and economic development within developed and developing countries. It examines and evaluates the economic, social and environmental contribution of a range of different transport investments projects, including those associated with ‘mega-projects’, megacities, poverty and equity, labour market access and agglomeration economies.
Key speakers include: Prof. Naomi Brookes (Leeds University); Prof. Jim Hall (ECI, Oxford University); Jose Vegas (OECD Transport Forum); Dr David Howard (Oxford University).
The Infrastructure, Development and Finance Course is a part of the Leadership Programme on Global Challenges in Transport Programme. This comprises six three-day courses that stand independently, but are complementary, forming a coherent whole. Each course is certified and fully CPD-accredited by the Chartered Institute for Transport and Logistics (UK). Delegates can register for any number of courses, and when all six are booked at the same time the final one is free. Organisations making multiple bookings for their staff should enquire about our group discounts - please email Dr. Karen Lucas for further information.

Each course of the Oxford Leadership Programme is accredited by CILT (UK) for 25 hours Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The full Programme is accredited for 90 hours CPD, which can be used to support applications for CILT Chartered Membership, or for upgrading existing CILT Membership to Fellowship status.
