| Reinventing Transport in Cities: 2008 - 2012 |
| |
Virtually all of the necessary preconditions are now in place for far-reaching technical and economic reform in the ways that people get around in our cites. The needs are there, they are increasingly understood -- and we now know what we need to do and how to get it done. The challenge is to find the political will, vision and the leadership to get the job done.
Here is a path to get started. More > > >
| Global Networks in Support of New Mobility |
| |
A growing number of excellent programs, groups, and web-available resources around the world are looking and acting from various perspectives at these matters. Can they be linked to function as a broader learning community? We think it's worth looking into, and here is how we are trying to do our bit.

The New Mobility Agenda in all its parts is essentially a content site and toolkit for sector reform. But if this work is to make a difference, it will have to be communicated - and that in a form which reaches wide, informs and engages. The collaborative media program is our attempt to deal with this challenge More > > >
| New Mobility Fast Track (publication, Autumn, 2008) |
| |
The New Mobility networks are working with the Journal of World Transport Policy & Practice to prepare a special edition which for the first time will provide a comprehensive guide to outstanding practices and results in leading edge situations and projects. This information is aimed at local government and civic leaders, transportation and associated agencies, public interest groups, as well as suppliers of products and services to this sector in transformation.

| Journal of World Transport Poicy and Practice |

Many of the issues raised within the transport debate do not fit into the narrow and stultifying disciplinary compartments that characterize science and society in the developed world. The journal is topic and issue-based and encourages as many contributions as possible from as many perspectives as possible
