5th Annual International Congress on Sustainable Transport

12 Oct 2009

Dates: October 12, 13 and 14, 2009

Given the current problems facing the cities of Mexico and Latin America, where the impact of climate change and accelerated increases in the NUMBER OF PRIVATE CARS has converted our cities into unattractive places to live and work…

How can we encounter solutions for these cities using technology developed by our own companies and generate cooperation between governments and the private sector?

How can we attract valuable investment and development projects to STIMULATE THE ECONOMY in a sustainable and progressive manner, and simultaneously generate jobs and improve the quality of life of all of those living in our cities?

There are many possible responses, but the most important is COOPERATION between cities and companies all over the world, through sharing knowledge and investing in integrated projects in mobility, public transit, non-motorized transport, urban development and transport, new technologies, and improved air quality.

The Center for Sustainable Transport of Mexico and EMBARQ-WRI announce the V INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT, a forum where scientific, commercial, academic and political ideas are shared to give them greater visibility and to provide a space where different private, public and social sectors can discuss, debate, and make commitments to solutions that can confront our current challenges.

The Congress has become a REFERENCE POINT IN LATIN AMERICA, bringing together the main actors from this sector who are interested in promoting the growth of cities and the well-being of the population.
