In today’s multifaceted landscape, Systems Integration (SI) is essential for the success of large rail projects. Mark Pearse, Technical Director in the Rail team at WSP says, “It’s all about starting with the end in mind, and this helps us to identify system interfaces early and manage the risks, ensuring delivery certainty and minimising the chances of project overrun. Our global framework for SI has seen success on international projects like Crossrail in the UK, City Rail Link in New Zealand, and we’re applying it locally on projects including Armadale Line Upgrade in Perth and Southern Program Alliance in Melbourne.” Explore our six steps for successful Systems Integration below, or learn more about delivering successful Metro Rail projects here: https://lnkd.in/gx6VbSNH #SI #Metro #Rail #SystemsIntegration #WeAreWSP Curran Dhaliwal, Kishore Somashekar, Georgina Hartwell

A city that works for women and girls is a city that works for everyone. It's a city of thriving economic productivity, social equity, and sustainability. So, how can we design better cities for women and girls? Check out five takeaways below from Estelle Grech, Dr Rhonda Itaoui, Alison Holloway and Lucy Greig's panel discussion yesterday at SXSW Sydney. 👇 #SXSWonLinkedin #SXSW #DiversityAndInclusion #Planning #Transport #Accessibility #Sustainability #WeAreWSP
A city that works for women and girls is a city that works for everyone. It's a city of thriving economic productivity, social equity, and sustainability. What a fantastic day at SXSW Sydney hearing from Estelle Grech, Dr Rhonda Itaoui, Lucy Greig and Alison Holloway on how we can design better cities for women and girls 💬 Some takeaways: 👣 Sydney has long been designed, planned and built by men - and it shows. For example, the time we have to cross the road is based off the average pace of a six foot man. This is just one of the many instances in which the needs of women and girls haven't been prioritised in city planning. 👩 Women with children are bound by a tighter 'spatial leash' than men, as they are more likely to take jobs closer to home due to care responsibilities. Women therefore have more limited employment options. This can be addressed through better urban planning that prioritises the needs of women and caregivers. 🚆 Women often take more complex multi-stop journeys, and use less carbon-intensive transport modes like walking, cycling, and public transit. However, safety concerns discourage their use. By improving safety, accessibility, connectivity and affordability in public and active transport systems, we can reduce reliance on high-emission private vehicles while making it easier for women to take trips around the city. Transport systems must consider gender to accommodate the needs of women and support a safe transition to sustainable modes and decarbonisation. 💸 Employed women (and men!) in western Sydney earn less on average than their counterparts in the rest of the city, making geography the key indicator of incomes in Western Sydney. Plus, closing the gap in women's workforce participation between western Sydney and the rest of the city could add $36 billion to the NSW economy. 🔍 Applying an intersectional lens is critical when trying to understand how women experience cities. Each person’s interaction with public space is shaped by the simultaneous influence of their multiple, co-existing identities, like ethnicity, religion and education levels – which inform how we should address their unique needs.
