We have often said that new mobility is a strategy which is ultimately made up of
a very large number of often very small things. And so it is just in this spirit that
we have decided to launch a new series in which you are invited to participate. It
is the 2011 World Streets Bright Awards, celebrating "great small ideas that can
be multiplied by thousands and make a difference". It's simple and works like this.

In order to turn around a very big boat that is moving in the wrong direction – think
global warming or any of the other wrong-way trips that we are currently locked into
when it comes to transport in cities – it helps to be smart, studious and work very
hard. But it is if anything even more important to have a feel for what is really going
on. And this is where the fine art of pattern recognition comes in. Pattern
recognition: all too often the empty chair when it comes to understanding and
decision making in the field of transport policy and practice. No wonder we are doing so poorly.

To fix Sustainable Transport: Ensure Full Gender Parity in all

Decision and Investment Fora (QED)

Today is International Women's Day. And not only that, 2011 marks the one hundredth anniversary of

this great and necessary idea. So what better occasion for World
Streets to announce publicly, loudly and yet once again our firm
belief that the most important single thing that our society, our
nations and our cities could do to increase the fairness and the
effectiveness of our transportation arrangements would be to make
it a matter of the law that all decisions determining how taxpayer
money is invested in the sector should be decided by councils that respect full gender parity. We invite you to join
us in this challenge and make it one of the major themes of sustainable transport policy worldwide in 2011.
