In episode two of our Infrastructure for a better future series we look to Stockholm. Stockholm was one of the first cities in the world to implement a congestion charge to reduce its traffic – and it worked. Following implementation of the charge, traffic was reduced by 20% and congestion by 30% to 50%. Not only that, but public perception of the charge swung markedly in its favour after a well thought out trial. Geoff Cooper, General Manager – Strategy at Te Waihanga, spoke to Gustaf Landahl, former Head of Department – Environment and Health Administration in Stockholm, about how the city took decisive action to implement congestion charging.
