总结: | This presentation outlines the nexus of the three overlapping mega trends that have been viewed together through the concept of planetary boundaries - environmental, economic and social. These would be outlined individually and as a set of overlapping and connected interfaces. The implications and opportunities are interpreted within the framework of mobility patterns within cities, arguing for new thinking that combines low carbon transport, with a refocusing on collective modes of transport that provide a total door to door service, which in turn meets the requirement for providing accessibility for all. This vision of opportunity for transport in cities is intended to take advantage of the climate change, financial and demographic imperatives to generate innovative solutions that mitigate the potentially disastrous effects resulting from these three megatrends. |
