In a throwback to the early days in radio astronomy, new concepts for radio telescopes are being considered as next-generation facilities. The Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) and the Square-Kilometer Array (SKA) are two particular projects that will incorporate innovations in hardware and software. Along the way to these projects, major surveys for pulsars and transients and/or follow-up pulsar timing observations will be conducted with the ALFA multibeam system at Arecibo, the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), the Extended VLA (EVLA) and with SKA prototype systems that include the European MBRACE project (Multibeam Radio Astronomy Concept Experiment) and China's FAST (500m Aperture Spherical Telescope). These projects are discussed here in the context of anticipated science drivers.
