 ====Future of Highways====
-[[library:future_of_highways|Future of Highways]] by [[encyclopedia:arup|ARUP]]
+[[library:future_of_highways|Future of Highways]] by [[encyclopedia:arup|ARUP]] examines the future of mobility and transport infrastructure. It identifies 'A growing and aging population' as a megatrend with global implications for the future of highways. By 2050, the global population is projected to reach approximately 9.5 billion, with varying population trends across regions. Aging populations in countries like Russia, Japan, and Germany will lead to population decline, while explosive growth is expected in some parts of the developing world, particularly in cities. The shift towards an older population will impact mobility solutions, as older generations may have different needs and preferences.
 ====Review of how science and technology could contribute to better energy management in the future: futures studies====
-[[library:review_of_how_science_and_technology_could_contribute_to_better_energy_management_in_the_future_futures_studies|Review of how science and technology could contribute to better energy management in the future: futures studies]] by UK Government Office for Science
+[[library:review_of_how_science_and_technology_could_contribute_to_better_energy_management_in_the_future_futures_studies|Review of how science and technology could contribute to better energy management in the future: futures studies]] by the UK Government Office for Science reviewed existing futures studies surrounding energy issues. The various studies found similarities in the social factors and trends that influence energy consumption. Population and lifestyles/values were identified as the primary drivers of energy usage. The studies discussed the expected population growth in developing regions and the anticipated decline in developed regions. Additionally, the impact of urbanization, demographics, and land use on energy consumption was examined across multiple studies.
