This report recommends site design practices that can be
applied through the land development process to promote
the use of more sustainable modes of passenger
transportation, such as walking, cycling and transit. Its
primary purpose is to assist policy-makers and professionals
involved in the preparation, review and approval
of non-residential development proposals to identify and
incorporate features that make sites more accessible to
travel modes other than the single-occupant vehicle
(SOV). The report also identifies a range of supporting
policies and actions that agencies can implement to create
an atmosphere conducive to promoting sustainable transportation through site design.

From the report: "The Foresight Project on Intelligent Infrastructure Systems (IIS) set out to examine the challenges and opportunities for the UK in bringing ‘intelligence’ to its infrastructure – the physical networks that deliver such services as transport,
telecommunications, water and energy. In particular, the project explored how, over the next 50 years, we can apply science and technology to the design and implementation of intelligent infrastructure for robust, sustainable and safe
transport, and its alternatives.

The technological opportunities and social factors are such that IIS can develop in many different ways. The direction will depend on the direction that society takes. The Foresight project investigated many alternative futures and identified
60 different ‘drivers for change’ (see Appendix). It is difficult to say how these drivers will change the future. However, to illustrate the possibilities, and guide its thinking and analysis, the project created four scenarios of how the future might look."
