The impacts
  • In 2008, 400 disasters affected 200 million
    people killing 16,000 and displacing c. 50
    million.
  • Hydrometeorological change will continue to
    increase due to climate change
  • Climate-related natural disasters drove 20
    million from their homes in 2008, nearly 4 times
    as many as were displaced by conlict UN report
    (excluding earthquakes)
  • And lets not think about Fires

4
That sinking feeling
  • 80 of Australians live by the sea
  • Over 700,000 homes already at or below sea level?
  • 80 cm rise in sea level by 2100, according to
    Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

  • NZ Herald 4 March 2010 Pauline Stacey carrying
    her bike c. 2km to keep it out of salt water a
    king tide affected the cycle way for three hours
    every high tide. Theres a six-lane motorway
    through the fence on the left (High pressure
    weather so no storm surge )

A White Water World
7
Peak Oil scenarios
  • CSIRO in Australia forecast, in July 2008, a jump
    to 8 a litre.
  • A spokesperson for Engineers for Social
    Responsibility said (in October 2008) that a
    conservative estimate of a 4 annual decline in
    oil supply raises the prospect of a 12
    contraction in the economy over 15 years.
  • Work in Portland, Oregon suggests three
    scenarios
  • A. Oil drains away gradually 50 is still
    available in 20 years volatile prices and
    demand fluctuating with the price.
  • B. Sudden disruption in supply that could last
    for months or years, i.e. prolonged state or
    emergency. Society would cope but with
    significant disruption
  • C. Impact of peak oil becomes so great that
    multiple global systems, financial, currency,
    trade all fail, Governments are forced to
    concentrate on basic human needs and are
    overwhelmed.
  • Portland aims to cut absolute use of all fuels by
    50 within 25 years.

How will we respond?
  • Blinkers
  • But we cant pretend that nothing is happening
    If change within is slower than change without we
    have a problem
  • Sticking plaster
  • Treating the symptoms with increasingly
    inappropriate traditional responses
  • Babies and Bath water
  • And by the time weve changed, the world has
    changed again

9
Rethinking transport
  • Too much traffic
  • Maintaining our communities
  • The tyranny of distance
  • Maybe we only have one problem
  • Should we rely on transport for everything?

10
What would a Martian think?
  • In a country that has been moaning about low
    productivity and searching for new ways to
    increase it, the single most anti-productive
    thing we do is to ship millions of workers back
    and forth across the landscape every morning
  • -- Alvin Toffler

11
Reduced travel and emissions
  • A 10 reduction in traffic can mean a 1 growth
    in economic productivity IBM
  • 20 of commuters teleworking 2.5 days a week is
    a 10 reduction in the number of commuters in the
    traffic network
  • Road Transportation Emerges as Key Driver of
    Warming NASA http//www.giss.nasa.gov/research/n
    ews/20100218a/

12
A calculation
  • 20 of 100 staff, at home 2.5 days a week
  • Saves 5000 trips (62,500 km)
  • Saves 10,938 litres of fuel
  • Eliminates 25,134 kg CO2 and 1414 kg other
    emissions
  • Saves 3000 hours

13
What is Normal?
  • Building roads when fuel is becoming scarcer?
  • Building public transport for people whod rather
    not travel at all?
  • Building cycle ways for commuters whove never
    ridden a bike before?
  • We cant solve problems with the thinking that
    created them paraphrasing Einstein

14
What is Smart?
  • Smart business people do not try to accommodate
    problems
  • They seek to eliminate them at source, wherever
    possible
  • Smart planners should seek todo the same

15
Two concepts
  • Transport is a derived need
  • It is derived from the way we live and work
  • TeDiuM an oxymoron?
  • As the way we work changes so too will our need
    for travel and transport
  • And we need structural flexibility
  • Is there an alternative?
  • In urban and rural settings
  • Urban / suburban / peri-urban planning is
    critical
  • And so is telework
  • Remove the Need and provide Flexibility

16
Planning beyond Travel
  • TDM is not the answer it is normally only
    supply and modal shift
  • BODs, RODs, and TODs are not the real goal, they
    assume travel
  • We need LODs with work, shopping, entertainment,
    LIFE within easy walk, or at least on-line
  • There are many alternatives to consider

17
Towards smarter travel
  • We could buy the flashest car
  • And use the latest alternative fuel
  • But will this really solve our problems?

18
A new paradigm
  • We need to do more to reduce the need for travel
  • And we need to ensure that the threats we face
    will not destroy our businesses and communities
  • In a white water world we must be focused and
    prepared
  • Focused on the need
  • Prepared with flexible options

19
A proposal
  1. Eliminate the need for travel, wherever possible
  2. Provide people-power alternatives, where
    suitable
  3. Offer public transport solutions, where
    appropriate
  4. Encourage trip sharing, where practical
  5. Build roads, as a last resort
  6. Integrate and interconnect, always

20
And to make telework part of this
  • Capitalise on the opportunities
  • Make a strategic commitment
  • Research
  • Provide information
  • including a PR and marketing campaign
  • Use any awareness-raising tools available
  • Provide implementation support
  • Continuously monitor and fine tune
  • Foster and maintain political commitment

21
Maintain your present speed
22
Telework means
  • Whatever you want but, at its base
  • Working from a distance
  • Achieving our objectives by enabling, supporting
    and effectively managing the performance of
    work in non-traditional locations
  • After all, should work be somewhere we go or
    something we do?
  • Is your organisation a smart building or a group
    of committed people doing things?

23
What its not
  • Technology?
  • Enabled not driven
  • Appropriate solutions
  • Home offices?
  • The alternatives
  • Full-time?
  • 1.67 days a week but rising

24
The Death of the City
25
Auckland Regional Council
  • 66.7 positive 75 wanted information
  • Saving 18.25 of commuting trips
  • Practical trials showed 9.5 trip saving
  • Provide information and support implementation
    for employers
  • What happened next?

26
Related Auckland research
  • If only 5 of Aucklands drivers didnt use their
    cars two days a week, wed
  • regain up to 2.8 million hours of lost
    productivity
  • save 56.8 million in fuel and car expenses, and
  • stop 29.7 thousand tonnes of pollution entering
    the atmosphere per annum

27
Wellington Regional Council
  • 77.2 positive 57 wanted information
  • Saving 14.9 of commuting trips
  • Trial demonstrated 6 take-up
  • Provide co-ordinated PR and marketing campaign
    for employees
  • What happened next?

28
Waitakere City Council
  • 48 of residents within a specific area thought
    that they could work from home
  • 36 did already, saving 7.9 of all commuting
    trips
  • 44 said resources would be a great idea and
    could eliminate a further 13.2 of commuting
    trips
  • What happened next?

29
Telework Australia
  • Australian Telework Advisory Committee
  • A national telework awareness initiative web
    site, PR, speaking
