Beijing Jiaotung University : International Peer Dialogue Getting around: And why we need a Plan Z. Mobility Strategies for Better Transport in China’s Cities: 2013-2015 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, New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
This Peer Dialogue is about transport in cities New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
But it is also about ideas. (And complexity) (And interdependence) Let’s have a look at how we got into this embarrassing situation. New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
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: 1951-2011 The Dark Ages of Transport in Cities, 1975-2012 (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: 2013-2015 1. 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) Yourcomments and reflections New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
First background on Peer Dialogue Process Getting Around: The Third Paradigm Cities, Indolence, Complexity and the Golden Arrow of Harmony The Book: 2014 The Process: 2012- 2013 New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012

Some strange, hard to understand things are going on in our sector. An embarrassing comparison: 1951- 2011 New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
What was going on in the streets of our cities at this time? Scenario A: Transport in Cities: 1951 In 1951 a New York City street looked like this New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Scenario A’: Transport in Cities: 2011 In 2011 a New York City street looked like this: New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Hmm! Want to tell us why? New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Scenario B: Electronic Transport Development: 1951 In 1951 a computer looked like this (Univac 1) New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
By the way 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. New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Scenario B’: Electronic Transport Development: 2011 And in 2011 a computer looked like this Steve Jobs announcing iPad 2. March 2011 New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
That’s on the order of a trillion-plus times leap in performance* in just sixty years (approximately two human generations) Wow! * Back of the envelope comparisons by weight, volume, electricity consumption and processing capacity New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Ladies, Gentlemen, it’s obviously time to stop and think New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
You can start here: “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 New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Clue: Have you given any thought recently to . . . And here: You really should because they are going to be a central part of the solution More follows on ZB New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
How did we get into this embarrassing situation? One more afternoon in NYC New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
The Dark Ages of Transport in Cities * 1975 - 2012 • This is where that terrible word “indolence” comes in. We have lost a generation of opportunities. • And we no reason to be proud. New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Remember the Old Mobility Agenda • 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 * Which is pretty much explains how the world got where we are today New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
Old Mobility, 1975 - 2012: Won the battles . . . Lost the war New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012

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) • Optimistic? • Hopeful? • Worried? • Aggressive search for new winning strategies?

New Mobility Peer Dialogue. Beijing, 25/09/2012
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.
