Transport is among the top challenges for cities in both developed and developing worlds due to its impact on economic vibrancy, environmental sustainability and quality of life. Leaders in transport play a pivotal role in transforming cities’ transport system to enhance their liveability and global competitiveness. Transforming urban transport is a highly complex issue involving multiple challenges in social, political, economic and technological dimensions and cities will benefit from sharing of global knowledge and experience. The World Urban Transport Leaders Summit (WUTLS) series was inaugurated in November 2008 to provide a high-level platform to discuss and exchange solutions, ideas and best practices in transforming urban transport. The unique premier conference attracted top policy makers and leading professionals from some 30 countries across the world.
The 2nd WUTLS builds on the success and momentum of the inaugural summit. The theme reflects the latest approach and thinking amidst the global economic downturn, and growing concerns of climate change, air quality and energy efficiency. It will feature eminent international speakers sharing their insights and latest initiatives, and discussing a wide range of policy and strategic issues from the practitioner’s perspective. Plenary forums will cover key issues such as new vision, governance, sustainable urban solutions, green and ecofriendly transport, future transport innovations, etc. The Summit will also feature a Policy Dialogue with top leaders and experts, and site visits to the latest transport initiatives in Singapore. There will be excellent opportunities to network and forge partnership among the movers and shakers in transport. The 2nd WUTLS will be held alongside the World Cities Summit 2010.
