Transforming Infrastructure Performance – Roadmap to 2030
Summary
Transforming Infrastructure Performance (TIP) is the IPA’s flagship programme to lead system change in the built environment. Its purpose is to transform how the government and industry decide to intervene in the built environment, to drive a step change in infrastructure performance.
TIP’s Roadmap to 2030 describes a vision for the future which collectively prioritises the societal outcomes we need, and use modern digital approaches and technologies, alongside improved delivery models to achieve them. Achieving that vision requires a system for designing, constructing and operating in the built environment that is more resilient, adaptive and sustainable, and that can better withstand the inevitable shifts and changes we will see in the coming decades.
The Roadmap builds on the progress made since the launch of TIP in 2017, and the landmark publication of the National Infrastructure Strategy in November 2020 and the 25 Year Environment Plan in 2018. Important steps have been taken in recent years, including resetting the Government’s Major Projects Portfolio, increasing the granularity and breadth of the infrastructure pipeline, greater focus on delivery reform through Project Speed, launching the Construction Playbook, and improving discipline in project cost estimating. But there is clearly much further to go to ensure we maximise the impact of nearly £650bn infrastructure investment over the next decade, and meet the challenges of delivering infrastructure projects in the digital age, regenerating places across the UK, achieving net zero carbon and replenishing our natural environment.
