Due to the increasing pressure on urban space and the huge push for sustainable, green and clean development, in the coming years there will be huge investment allocated to urban development and a clear need has arisen to find best practice in urban planning strategy. Urban transport planners, local transport authorities and operators need a space in which to learn best practice, learn new strategies in planning and development and compare case studies from across the world.

Urban Transport World is an exclusive forum for discussing the major issues and challenges involved in planning, building, operating and maintaining sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure in cities.

Our extensive research with transport authorities and operators has shown that the key challenges faced by local authorities, urban planners and transport operators everywhere include:

• Financing urban transport projects - making the best use of funds/raising funds. In our global survey, this was identified as the single biggest obstacle facing urban transport development.
• Integration and intermodality: ensuring proper integration between different forms of transport within a city – In our survey, this was listed as the second most important challenge facing authorities and operators.
• Project delivery - ensuring projects are delivered on time and to budget
• Transport sustainability – incorporating it in planning through to delivery.
• Transport security and safety
• Land use and transport integration
• Securing private sector expertise – PPP and PFI
• Introducing urban transport pricing schemes

Are you also finding these challenges? If so, you would surely find value in being in a room with over 150 senior executives from transport authorities and operators discussing solutions to these and other challenges at the Urban Transport World Europe congress in October.

Urban Transport World Europe will provide a valuable space where local authorities, transport operators and Government Ministries can hear best practice, learn new ideas and develop relationships with world-class advisors and solution providers. The agenda will be world class and the opportunities for business will be abundant. You can't afford to miss it!
