Introduction

Prosperity and population on earth tend to accumulate in large urban areas. This phenomenon is tending to accelerate. Freedom of movement is regarded by many as a human right and mobility is a high-ranking quality of life utilized by private citizens as soon as it is affordable.

This causes increasing traffic of different kinds. Urban areas also require the transportation of people, goods and garbage increasing the traffic still further. Growing awareness of the problems of congestion and accidents, as well as environmental and resource restrictions on the local and global level, will inevitably necessitate determined action and close co-operation between politicians, city planners, scientists and industry.

The main focus of this conference will be to see how these players can act together to implement a joint action programme.
