This conference is about transport in cities *

But it is also about ideas.

Lets have a look at how we got into this uncomfortable situation.

World Share Transport Forum III: Jiaozuo 2012 3

And specifically about the concept and role of Share/Transport in the New Mobility Mix

But first, lets consider briefly some strange hard to understand things are going on in the world of transportation since 1950

World Share Transport Forum III: Jiaozuo 2012

Scenario A: Transport in Cities: 1951

In 1951 a New York City street looked like this

Scenario A: Transport in Cities: 2011

In 2011 a New York City street looked like this:

Scenario B: Electronic Transport Development: 1951

In 1951 a computer looked like this (Univac 1)

Scenario B: Electronic Transport Development: 2011

And in 2011 a computer looked like this Steve Jobs announcing iPad 2. March 2011

And just in case you forgot

The first UNIVAC I was delivered on June 14, 1951. 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 0.525 milliseconds for arithmetic functions, 2.15 milliseconds for multiplication and 3.9 Milliseconds for division. The UNIVAC was the first computer to come equipped with a magnetic tape unit and was the first computer to use buffer memory.

Thats on the order of a trillion-plus times leap in performance in just sixty years (approximately two human generations)

Wow!

Ladies, Gentlemen, its obviously time to stop and think

How did we get into this embarrassing situation.

Remember the Old Mobility Agenda

These are the main values stressed in the old model Congestion (avoidance) Forecast and build Cars and other motor vehicles (accommodation) Infrastructure (expansion) Speed (important) Distance (expanding) Space (not an issue) Time (saving) Resources (not a problem) Public transport (as absolutely required) Labor (Saving) Electronics (To support above) Problem solving - by big (costly) projects
* Which is pretty much explains how the world got where we are today

And the Dark Ages of Transport in Cities *

1975 - 2012
This is where that terrible word indolence comes in.

We simply lost a generation of opportunities. And we no reason to be proud.
