Sustainability
•Three attributes•Environmental
•Climate change, noise, pollution, biodiversity
•Economic• Efficiency, economic growth, congestion
•Social•Access, safety, equity now and in the future

The challenge of urbanisation• World urban population
– 2010: 3.5bn (50%)– 2050: 6.9bn (70%)
• Asian cities– 2010: 1.8bn (42%)– 2050: 3.5bn (66%)
• Traffic levels 2025– World: 1.5 x 2000 levels– Asia: 5.7 x 2000 levels

The challenge of climate change
•To avoid dangerous levels of climate change
–2o maximum surface temperature increase
–50% emissions reduction needed by 2050
–80% in developed countries
•Reflecting much more intensive emission levels
![Page 5: Green Urban Transport The contribution of the World Conference on Transport Research Society Professor Anthony D May President, WCTRS Emeritus Professor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ad07f8b9ab05997144c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Could we achieve an 80% cut by 2050 in Europe?
• Business as usual• High technology
take-up • Plus substantial
behavioural change• So both are
essential• But is a 50% cut
feasible elsewhere?

The World Conference on Transport Research Society
• The Society’s objective– To stimulate the interchange of research in all aspects
of transport and from all parts of the world• Membership
– Currently around 1600 members– From 67 countries– Researchers, policy makers, consultants
• Principal activities– An international conference (WCTR) every three years– Special Interest Groups– Contributions to policy

Conferences and SIGs
• The World Conferences on Transport Research– Lisbon July 2010 (1400 delegates, 1300 papers)– Rio de Janeiro 2013– Bids for 2016 due in 2011
• The Special Interest Groups– Currently 13 active SIGs– Offer continuing activity between conferences
• 14 conferences/workshops since 2007• 15 journal special issues

The Shanghai workshop
• Objectives– To contribute to the development of policy on
urban transport in China through:• SIG-11 on transport and climate change• SIG-7 and CODATU on policy change• SIG-1 (land use); SIG-9 (urban freight); SIG-10
(urban transport) on specific policy options– To increase awareness of WCTRS– To encourage participation in our activities
