Yorkshire and Humberside
Introduction:
Yorkshire and Humberside includes the growth hubs of Leeds and York, the old industrial areas of South Yorkshire and the Humber, the large shire county areas of North Yorkshire; and the two national parks where development is highly constrained. The Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Development Agency is outwardly supportive of sustainable development principles, particularly in developing renewable energy.
Yorkshire and Humberside’s air travel increase will continue to grow as a perceived gap in aviation capacity is filled. Some progressive urban transit schemes are pending government approval. The region will also continue to experience the familiar storyline of increased congestion on motorways and trunk roads.
