The event convenes leading transport and urban development experts from national and local governments, multilateral development banks, foundations, civil society, research institutions, and businesses from around the world. At Transforming Transportation, they share the latest experiences, information, and best practices around sustainable transport.
This year’s event will focus on "Smart Cities for Shared Prosperity," and will examine how smart, connected urban mobility can improve quality of life in cities.
