Fast Track Analysis (FTA)

The FTA presents the framework for long term strategic analysis of national infrastructure systems, and provides a cross-sectoral overview of infrastructure sectors (energy, transport, water, waste, ICT). It also identifies the high level drivers of change within infrastructure systems, and presents preliminary results from analysis of future demand.
