Mobility Strategies for Better Transport in China’s Cities:

This Peer Dialogue is about transport in cities New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012 2

3 But it is also about ideas. (And complexity) (And interdependence) Let’s have a look at how we got into this embarrassing situation.

Today we will inspect and comment together: Who are we? And why are we here? Getting Around: Cities, Indolence, Complexity, Harmony (Book and Process) Two starkly contrasting transport scenarios: The Dark Ages of Transport in Cities, (Why and lessons learned) Old Mobility Snares: Winning battles but loosing the war The New Mobility Agenda: Getting comfortable with complexity Micro/Macro Transportation Problem Solving Strategic New Mobility Pillars: Master complexity 2. Scale up from Public Transit to Share/Transport 3. Zetabyte strategies 4. Open System to broad based innovation (App strategies) The Golden Arrow of Harmony (video and reflection) Your comments and reflections New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/20124

Some strange, hard to understand things are going on in our sector. New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ An embarrassing comparison:

What was going on in the streets of our cities at this time? New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ In 1951 a New York City street looked like this Scenario A: Transport in Cities: 1951

In 2011 a New York City street looked like this: New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ Scenario A’: Transport in Cities: 2011

New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ Hmm! Want to tell us why?

In 1951 a computer looked like this (Univac 1) Scenario B: Electronic Transport Development: 1951 New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/

New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ By the way and just in case you forgot The first UNIVAC I was delivered on June 14, The machine was 25 feet by 50 feet in length, contained 5,600 tubes, 18,000 crystal diodes, and 300 relays. It utilized serial circuitry, 2.25 MHz bit rate, and had an internal storage capacity 1,000 words or 12,000 characters. It utilized a Mercury delay line, magnetic tape, and typewriter output. The UNIVAC was used for general purpose computing with large amounts of input and output. Power consumption was about 120 kva. Its reported processing speed was milliseconds for arithmetic functions, 2.15 milliseconds for multiplication and 3.9 Milliseconds for division.

And in 2011 a computer looked like this New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ Scenario B’: Electronic Transport Development: 2011 Steve Jobs announcing iPad 2. March 2011

That’s on the order of a trillion-plus times leap in performance* in just sixty years (approximately two human generations) New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ Wow! * Back of the envelope comparisons by weight, volume, electricity consumption and processing capacity

Ladies, Gentlemen, it’s obviously time to stop and think New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/

New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ “A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It‘s where the rich use public transportation” - Enrique Peñalosa, Former mayor of Bogotá, Colombia You can start here:

Clue: Have you given any thought recently to... New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ You really should because they are going to be a central part of the solution More follows on ZB And here:

How did we get into this embarrassing situation? New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ One more afternoon in NYC

The Dark Ages of Transport in Cities * New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ This is where that terrible word “indolence” comes in. We have lost a generation of opportunities. And we no reason to be proud.

Remember the Old Mobility Agenda New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ * Which is pretty much explains how the world got where we are today These are the main values stressed in the old model Congestion (avoidance) Forecast and build Micro planning Cars and other motor vehicles (accommodation) Infrastructure (expansion) Speed (important) Distance (expanding) Space (not an issue) Time (saving) Resources (not a problem) Planet (not a problem) Public transport (as absolutely required) Labor (“Saving”) Electronics (To support above) Point problem solving - by big (costly) projects

Old Mobility, : Won the battles... Lost the war New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/201221

Time to find a new model for transport in cities New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ The New Mobility Agenda: The Third Transport Paradigm (But we are going to have to invent it ourselves)

Beijing, 25/09/ International Peer Dialogue on 26/09/12 in Beijing with Eric Britton, Managing Director, New Mobility Partnerships Lyon France and Los Angeles USA Introduced by Professor Jason Chang - Visiting Professor, China Academy of Transportation Sciences, Getting Around: Time for a Plan Z? New Mobility Strategies for Transport in China’s Cities:

Sustainable Transport in China today? Is this an emergency situation? How bad is it? Mobility efficiency, cost-effectiveness, key externalities, environment, equity The time vector? Irreversiblilities? Is the situation under control? Beyond point successes, the overall system dynamics? Do we have reason to be (chose one please) 1.Optimistic? 2.Hopeful? 3.Worried? Aggressive search for new winning strategies? New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/201224

Why is the sky blue Daddy? New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/

Here’s a question for you:. New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ What is the big difference between Beijing and Mexico City?

Learn! Unlearn! Relearn! New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ The first rule of Transport Policy and Practice in the 21 st Century is The New Mobility Ecosystem:

Transport/Mobility/Access/Presence New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ But what if instead we broaden our scope and instead think about... For a long time we have thought in terms of “transportation” The New Mobility Ecosystem: You’ll see; it changes everything

Do we need a Plan Z? Is this an emergency situation? How bad is it? The time vector? Irreversiblilities? Will BAU do the job? Beyond point successes, the overall system dynamics? Do we have reason to be (chose one) 1.Optimistic? 2.Hopeful? 3.Worried? Aggressive search for new winning strategies? New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/201235

Plan Z: Getting the basics right Define Emergency status and chief parameters Define and understand full City Transport Ecosystem Continue to support and link all strong on-going programs Obtain new scale resources for Plan Z Highest priority Transport/Mobility/Access/Presence “Better than car” mobility targets for cities Future of the car in the city Share/Transport Zetabytes Open up system and data Massively improve communications New Mobility Peer Dialogue.

Five Project/Activity proposals for 2013 (Food for thought) New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ Will 2013 be a “tipping point” for transport innovation in China? (And/or, could we make it one?) #1: Embrace complexity and redefine “Public Transport” #2: A New Mobility Agenda for Share/Transport #3: DRT – The future of the road #4: Unexpected gift: Get Carsharing into Fifth Gear #5: A Tai Chi approach to transport policy and practice for Chinese cities

New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ The New Mobility Agenda In closing: There points that as professionals you may wish to recall 1.Complex systems refute sub-optimization 2.Greater diversity of everything 3.Technical virtuosity in support of wise governance i.e., you still have a job.

Questions/Comments New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/ The New Mobility Ecosystem * Roughly half the Master Class participants were female. (They are clearly doing something right in Beijing).
