2 2 Themes.01 Drivers.02 Results.03 Insights.04 Next? What will drive mobility? What scenarios bind the future? What can we say from the Outlook? Closing words

3 3.01 drivers 2050: Global needs must be reconciled Key challenges on the way to a world of 9 billion people in 2050 Economic prosperity and development Equity Safety and health Energy Environmental quality and climate

4 4.01 drivers 2050: Drivers of mobility GDP growth continued but re-balanced Population growth strong but differentiated Cities becoming even more important Motorisation growing in non-oecd countries pattern? Energy Prices are uncertain but likely increasing and volatile (taxes?)

5 5.02 Results 2050: Results Growth in mobility (hardly) un-abated by 2050 OECD passenger volumes 10%-50% higher, non OECD times more Growth in CO 2 emissions less than mobility x 1.5 to 2.4 times 2010 globally Prices matter: (high) Oil, fuel and km charging depress mobility

6 6.03 Insights 2050: Insights Need for better balanced mobility eclectic transport Mobility needs will require (new) infrastructure but competition for capital likely to be stiff prioritisation key Key priorities should focus on high (societal) returns; virtual/physical linking of systems helpful, cities innovation hotbeds Strong de-carbonisation requires uptake of low-carbon technologies

12 12.04 Getting Shopping list of policy ingredients Vision for the city and transport Manage transport demand, price it where feasible, build capacity where required Focus on the reliability of transport, not just speed Inform users of conditions in a way that is useful to them Re-think the allocation of city space, manage parking... experiment! Foster mobility entrepreneurship Governance and enforcement must be robust Address the mobility needs of the poor and the periphery
