Introduction to presentation (ver. 1.0.5)

What you have here is a considerably expanded version of the keynote presentation I made on 11 June for the inaugural Cities for Mobility congress on the kind invitation of the Mayor and City of Stuttgart. It is supplemented by notes and additions which are intended to make it an easier read for those not present in Stuttgart. I have also expanded the final section to provide some further leads about how cities might take advantage of this approach, after having been asked by several of those present to do just this.

As it stands here and as you will quickly appreciate, it is no longer a base for a one-time presentation per se, but rather raw materials intended for handy browsing, collegial exchanges, discussions, and eventual future presentations. Long as it may be in this form, it shows just the tip of the very large iceberg of the considerable changes in thinking, policy and actual practice which are taking shape in the transport sector of leading-edge cities around the world.

Need more? A good starting place is the References section that follows (including two sets of rather good short videos illustrating some of the problems and solutions our cities face in this sector.) Beyond that you may find some help on the New Mobility Climate Emergency Program site at http://climate.newmobility.org and from the Cities for Mobility site at www.cities-for-mobility.org. (All of these references are directly clickable if you are looking at this in PowerPoint and are connected.)

For the Paris section most of the references are in French; in case you cannot read them easily, we would point you to http://translate.google.com/ where you can copy the URL into the address slot, to get basic working translations in German and English. The machine translations are far from perfect, but if you are genuinely interested to know they offer you a great start.

I am calling this an ‘invitation to an open brainstorm’ because I intend it as just that. So if you do have comments, corrections, or leads for how to make this better, please do get in touch. I would really be very pleased to hear from you. My coordinates: E: eric.britton@newmobility.org, T: +331 4326 1323. Skype: ericbritton

Kind thanks and I hope you enjoy the show
