Joined up thinking in a world where localism is sold

The world is moving to cities but we solve mobility before people get there

Don’t travel !

Land use planning

Transport planning in cities

Zero emission vehicles

Leadership is key

‘What is the end that I seek, and what is the most practical way to get there?’

The new freedom is mobility without fossil fuels or ownership of assets

Is it social science or is it technology?

Take a brand, add others and focus on mobility

Disruptive technology is an opportunity for new players but also for the current incumbents.

What can States and Regions do?

Regional transport policy that does not stop at a city boundary…

Conclusions

Joined up thinking

Leadership

Social science and a compelling offer

So I put it to the audience that States and Regions can drive this agenda and make a real difference
