NEW MOBILITY MEANS BUSINESS: EMERGING
MARKETS IN SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORTATION
By 2020 more than two-thirds of the planet will be living in city regions. This has profound implications for how we think about and implement transportation in a world of accelerating globalization, congestion, climate change, demographic shifts (including aging populations), and economic disparity. “New Mobility Means Business” will take a journey into the near and not so near future, profiling how new services, products, transport modes, energy sources, technologies, and designs are converging to provide urban transportation portfolios that work for people, the planet, and the economy.
Panelists are asked the question: “How does New Mobility / sustainable transportation mean business for you, and how do you envision the future of the New Mobility industry globally?
Speakers and Panelists include:
Mary Sue Coleman, President of the University of Michigan
