Just a link to what seems a very promising event! Global City Abu Dhabi Hope Floats hd .
On the schedule:
The Leaders’ Summit, co-organised with City on The Move Institute, France, a PSA Peugeot Citroen Foundation, and supported by the Forum for Urban Management, France, is a closed-door meeting exclusively for mayors and city leaders and by invitation only [So frustrating!?!?!?]. Organised around discussions tables, it provides them an exclusive opportunity to discuss the pressing issues facing their communities, to meet with their counterparts and to share their personal visions of sustainability. Dedicated to urban leadership challenges, the 2009 Leaders’ Summit will focus on “new mobility patterns for the 21st century”. In this leadership summit, we will discuss the most promising solutions and evolutions and we will try to evaluate their potential development. Various aspects will be approached, on 7 workshops, each of them being moderated by a recognised expert:
- Designing infrastructure in view of 21st century mobility requirements
- Technical management of the urban flows
- Urban road pricing: what for? Benefits, costs and risks for cities. How do you find out if it is a good idea to use this tool
- Multi and intermodal mobility centres
- The New Pedestrian
- Developing modal options closer to people’s requirements and to sustainability
- Goods mobility and freight & delivery management
