This document, titled 'New Mobility Next', presents an updated global white paper focused on shaping mobility systems by prioritizing the needs of people, communities, and places. It discusses the evolving landscape of mobility, considering sustainability, equity, and diverse community needs. The paper identifies key drivers of change across environment, economy, society, and technology, emphasizing a people and place-centric approach to transport planning rather than technology-first. It outlines three imperatives: addressing climate change, fostering thriving inclusive communities, and maximizing the positive impacts of new mobility while mitigating negatives.

This webinar transcript details WSP's application of System Dynamics to assist the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in their transportation and land use planning. The approach helps explore uncertainties and the interrelationships of complex trends, particularly how strategies like road pricing, telework adoption, electric vehicle incentives, and transit investment impact key outcomes such as Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), emissions, and system revenue. The tool aims to provide insights for informed decision-making in developing SCAG's Regional Transportation Plan.

This Manifesto outlines a vision for Digital Custodianship, a collaborative initiative by Mind Foundry and WSP aimed at transforming asset management for aging infrastructure. The strategic direction focuses on leveraging advanced digital technologies and AI, including comprehensive imaging, targeted sensing for performance data, and machine learning algorithms for enhanced diagnosis and prediction of asset degradation. The core objective is to recapture long-term stewardship attributes like knowledge continuity, proactive interventions, and sustainability by building verifiable AI systems that optimize maintenance strategies and prioritize interventions, ultimately ensuring better outcomes for asset owners and the wider public.

This Global Strategic Plan, "Expanding our Horizons," outlines WSP's direction from 2019 to 2021.
