    Your views on
    London initiative
    (Check as useful) **    		 1. Important pathbreaking example at a critical time in our cities
    2. Should accelerate more radical mobility approaches in cities.
    3. Good idea for London (but experience not transferable)
    4. Oof. Fair idea perhaps, but not better than that
    5. Good enough idea - but deeply flawed implementation
    6. Good idea - but mediocre implementation
    7. Bad idea. (And poorly implemented at that)
    8. Could you improve on it? (You bet! see Recommendations below)
    9. The mayor is otherwise on a wrong track and a number of his other transport policies need to be urgently rethought.
    10. We should look into similar approaches for our city
    11. Other (see Comments below)
    Leadership/Consensus
    as change agents
    (Check as useful)     		1. Sustainability initiatives do not require strong leadership
    2. Most important is achieving stakeholder consensus
    3. Leaders should await full consensus before moving ahead
    4. Links between innovation and consensus need more work
    5. Local leaders should listen to the experts
    6. And should follow their counsel to the letter
    7. Sustainability requires full consistency in policy & practice
    8. Limited initiatives should be punished at the polls
    9. Strong leadership needed to achieve major changes
    10. Effective communication and outreach are critical
    11. Innovation is inevitably an imperfect process
    12. Good leadership builds in adaptability for future fine-tuning

    On Road Pricing
    - in general     		1. Best way to solve mobility problems of cities
    2. A potentially useful sustainability strategy worthy of attention
    3. Must be accompanied by linked packages of measures
    4. Not an especially powerful approach to the problem
    5. To the contrary, a very bad idea and should be set aside
    6. Useful, but probably mainly in rich countries.
    7. Should also be scrutinized carefully in Third World.
    8. Other (see Recommendations below)
