Current Status Transportation Megaprojects Transport megaprojects are usually very visible due to their specific characteristics and impact on societies, which normally result in changes in mobility and land use. Transport megaprojects could be infrastructural projects such as highways and tunnels, bridges, railways and seaports. 6

Common Emerging Themes Big question: Why do the forecasts of megaprojects fail? What can we do to improve the process? Why forecasts are inadequate? Which policies have an impact on project? Main objective: which impact stakeholders have on project performance and forecasts? 11
Common Emerging Themes Discussion Planning process: How it influences the implementation of megaprojects? Bottom up and top down approaches: Characteristics, implications and impacts on megaprojects, as well as stakeholder management. Which megaprojects were top down and which ones were bottom up implemented? Issues of transport megaproject: o o o o o o Forecasts: how are they included in the planning process? Policies: There is any International/national/local policy? Logistic chains: Freight movements, which could influence Planning coherence: cooperation between different government bodies lack of a systemic approach (Coherence between) transportation planning, land use (spatial) planning, energy planning, ICT planning and economic planning. Context (regional, political and economic): the relation with the context during planning. How megaproject changes the context and it gives a different meaning? 12
Common Emerging Themes Discussion Methods: Statistical analysis (but we have small data) Qualitative analysis (why this happen? Relation it with the context) Qualitative vs. Quantitative are correlated? 13

Developments and Further Actions Next steps: Gather all the common emerging themes worksheet and disseminate them Create a horizontal group Regarding to risks, uncertainties in forecasts and how they are dealt within the planning and management process of a megaproject RISK IN THE FRONT END OF MEGAPROJECTS 15
