Co-founder of Cities Forum, and Vice Chair of ITS UK Road User Charging Forum
In this video, Zeina Nazer, co-founder of Cities Forum and Vice-President of ITS UK Road User Charging Forum, explains why cities must be at the heart of our concerns.
Over 70% of the world’s population lives in cities, and this proportion is growing all the time. Cities are fortunate in that they have access to public transport and a variety of means of getting around. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in less developed neighborhoods or cities. This is an impediment to economic activity: people need to be able to get around to get to work or school. By helping them, we’re helping the vast majority.
With that, we have to take into account everything else, because we also have to think about less developed cities, small neighborhoods where people need access to transport.

Any approach to safe mobility in the future mus put people first. To create a warm and welcoming atmosphere on public transportation, we need to view our fellow riders as valuable allies, rather than potential enemies. -

Are we on track to adapt our transportation infrastructure with our growing needs by 2050?
Currie Graham, Professor of Public Transport at Monash
The model of the 20th century - what we call the “Predict Provide Paradigm”, where urban planners would predict the amount of vehicle infrastructure, provide them, and segregate traffic - is no longer sustainable. -
