Overview
Based at the Bartlett School of Planning (BSP) at University College London (UCL), The OMEGA Centre for Mega Infrastructure and Development comprises a small team of Research Associates supported by an international network of academics, researchers and professionals engaged in various aspects of the planning, appraisal and delivery of mega projects world-wide.
Formerly known as a Centre for Mega Projects in Transport and Development, the scope of the centre was expanded, after the completion of the OMEGA 3 Project, to include infrastructure projects in other sectors. The centre moved beyond concerns about land-based transport infrastructure projects (or rather programmes of projects) to other sectors but is still focusing on projects costing in excess of US$ 1 billion (at 1990 prices) typically with high impact and frequently with political high profile often perceived as critical to the success of major urban, metropolitan, regional and/or national and trans-national development.
