Cities are the world’s engines of economic growth, but they also account for 70 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and many metropolitan areas struggle with traffic congestion, lost productivity, public health problems and traffic deaths due to inadequate public transportation.

The two-day Transforming Transportation forum brings together business leaders, policymakers, and city and transport officials from across the world under the theme “Better Cities, Better Business.”
