Upcoming webinar
Refocusing appraisal: Insights from practice and new methods from urban economics
FREE Webinar: Thursday 5 March 2026
12.00-13.30 WET & GMT/ 13.00-14.30 CET
The next TMF hybrid event will take place on Thursday March 5th 2026, in person at the City of London Corporation offices and online. Hosted by Ola Faleti from the TMF Working Group and chaired by Charlene Rohr, Technical Director in the Mott MacDonald Futures Team, it will include presentations by Andy Meaney, Partner and Head of Transport at Oxera Consulting LLP, and Dr Dániel Hörcher, Senior Research Associate, Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies.
This event is brought to you in collaboration with the City of London Corporation and Oxera Consulting LLP.
The discussion will address the purpose and process of appraisal, and how to avoid making Type I (a scheme or intervention not going ahead when it should have done) and Type II (a poor scheme proceeding when it should not have done) errors.
Our presenters will then provide insights into a new approach: the adaptation of quantitative urban models to transport appraisal. This model framework has attracted considerable attention in urban economics over the past decade and provides a robust means of quantifying the spatial reorganisation of economic activity following transformative schemes, along with the associated wider economic impacts.
The presentations will highlight how lessons from past practice and new methods can make appraisal more relevant to government’s big decisions on transport schemes and policies.

Charlene Rohr Mott MacDonald UK
|
Charlene Rohr is a Technical Principal at Mott MacDonald. She is a highly experienced researcher and practitioner. Her experience sits in the intersection of travel demand modelling, travel behaviour, policy analysis and future and foresight methods. She has over thirty-five years of experience developing and applying discrete choice models to quantify traveller behaviour and preferences and has been involved in the development of models to predict travel demand, at urban, regional and national levels in the UK, Scandinavia, Europe, and Australia. Her research interests also include understanding travel behaviour more widely and how transport fits within wider societal goals of health, wealth and wellbeing. Increasingly, her work is focussed on the impact of new technologies and changing societal trends on travel and in the use of futures methods to support robust planning in an environment of uncertainty. Since 2019 Charlene has been a key member of the Mott MacDonald Futures team, providing futures and foresight support to the UK Department for Transport to support more robust strategic planning. She serves on the DfT’s Joint Analysis Development Panel advising on forecasting, appraisal and modelling and previously chaired the Applied Methods Committee for the European Transport Conference. |
