Twenty Steps To Better Collaboration: Bridging Project Organisations And Local Authorities In Major Infrastructure Projects
This report from the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction at University College London draws on three years of in-depth qualitative research into two Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) in the UK. The research team conducted 74 interviews, direct observations, a knowledge co-creation workshop, and document analysis to investigate the complex dynamics between project delivery organisations and local authorities.
The result is a 20-step roadmap designed to enhance collaboration, address systemic challenges, and support more effective planning, decision-making, and implementation of major infrastructure projects. By strengthening these crucial relationships, the report aims to promote more efficient and inclusive project delivery for the benefit of both local communities and national development goals.
