Abstract
The author has views on the development of the profession for the twenty-first century which are both challenging and provocative. By contrasting the Victorian industrial revolution with the major changes in society needed today, a fundamental review of the profession's raison d’être is suggested, as is a radical rethink of the education and training of civil engineers. The author believes that the standards are already set and that there are the germs of a renaissance, but that industry and the profession at large have yet to realise their full significance.
