Our Innovation – Transportation for Megacities
What will our cities’ infrastructure needs look like in 2040, 2050, or even 2070, and how can we start preparing today? Our proposal, the Integrated Transportation and Logistics System, or ITLS, meets this challenge by providing fast and efficient people and goods movement across a polycentric megacity of 50 million people. By removing congestion from streets, the ITLS will help create high-quality public spaces and increase cities’ quality of life. Our solution outperformed its competitors in the Rocky Mountain Student Conference in April 2021, and the National ASCE Convention in October 2021, to secure first place.
How would the ITLS work, and how could it benefit your city? Read our proposal to learn more!
