Project Speed will be announced tomorrow

A taskforce designed to fast-track major building projects across the country to help the UK’s post-covid recovery is set to be announced by the prime minister tomorrow.

Boris Johnson will unveil the Infrastructure Delivery Task Force, dubbed Project Speed, to accelerate the building of schools, hospitals, roads and railways.

The task force will be chaired by chancellor Rishi Sunak and is said to have been inspired by the pace at which the NHS Nightingale hospitals were created across the country during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. These were designed by architects including BDP and Keppie.
