=====Methods=====
The research method involved workshops with experts from academia, business, and the public sector to identify key drivers and trends. These workshops led to the development of four scenarios based on future uncertainties, particularly the development of low-environmental-impact transport systems and societal acceptance of intelligent infrastructure.  \\

=====Key Insights=====
The Foresight Project on Intelligent Infrastructure Systems examined how science and technology could shape the UK's infrastructure by 2055. Four scenarios—Perpetual Motion, Urban Colonies, Tribal Trading, Good Intentions—were created, considering factors like environmental impact, societal acceptance, and technological advancements. The report discusses potential benefits, risks, and the influence of various drivers of change on future infrastructure development.  \\
