in partnership with:

CODATU and the Urban community of Bordeaux (France) are pleased to invite you to a one-day workshop that will be held on Monday, November the 24th at the Taj Dec-can Hotel in Hyderabad.

Participants will be invited to join discus-sions about “Public Transport, Mobility and Metropolitan Strategies: how to transform cities for a better accessibility?”. This se-minar is launching a one-year cooperation programme on urban mobility between Hyde-rabad Authorities and Urban community of Bordeaux as they have previously expressed their willingness to strengthen cultural and economic links between the two cities. It is sup-ported by both Indian Ministry of Urban De-velopment and French Foreign Affairs Ministry.

This partnership between Hyderabad and Bordeaux Local Authorities on urban mo-bility is also part of a programme leaded by CODATU to promote sustainable urban mobility policy through city-to-city coope-ration. CODATU wishes to develop know-how sharing between decision makers to support low carbon transport strategies and better accessibility in emerging cities.

For the last 15 years, the Urban community of Bordeaux has been developing a suc-cessful urban mobility policy which transfor-med deeply the city and made it one of the most attractive agglomerations in France. Hyderabad will drastically change within the next years thanks to the opening of the future Metro network. With this project, the Capital City of Telangana has the opportu-nity to improve its whole mobility system, but also to develop and amplify its entire ur-ban strategies: i.e. Urban planning, Dwelling policies, Nature and Public Health policies, Economic strategies, Digital strategies…

CODATU and Urban community of Bordeaux will provide a team of experts for this seminar in order to work with local Indian professio-nals to underline the challenges Hyderabad is facing. Thanks to a dialogue between the stakeholders, this participatory seminar will lead discussions on how the metropolitan area of Hyderabad could take advantage of the metro project and increase accessibi-lity of all the city dwellers.
