Hi All,

The World Society on Transport and Land Use
Research (WSTLUR) invites all interested parties
to propose hosting the 2014 World Symposium on
Transport and Land Use Research. The 5� day 2011
conference was held in Whistler, British
Columbia, Canada and was a great success – with
80 participants and 60 paper submissions. Around
35% of these submissions were accepted for
publication in the Journal of Transport and Land
Use and should appear in later 2012 issues and early 2013 issues.

The conference will be held in July or August
2014, depending on availability of venue. We
expect the numbers of attendees and presentations
to be similar to those at the 2011 conference.
Entities interested in hosting the conference
should submit a full application including the following information:

1�] Name of the city (or town) where the conference will be held.
2�] A brief description about the suggested venue
(stating what makes the venue (and/or its near
surroundings) an interesting place to visit, seen
from the perspective of transport and land use research)
3�] The strengths and profile of the host
institution(s) in terms of research within land use and transport field.
4�] A detailed budget, including:
a. Total expected budget for the entire conference,
b. Expected registration fees, and
c. Number of meals included in the registration fees.
5�] Details of tours that the local host can
accommodate in the conference city or nearby venues.
6�] Special agreements with local hotels in
providing group rates for conference attendees.

The symposium can be held in remote areas, but a
clear transport plan will be needed, regarding
how participants will arrive at the conference location.

The Society will be responsible of all printable
materials, conference CD proceedings, and gifts
to attendees. All proposals should be received by
email to [log in to unmask] before July
15th 2012, and an announcement will be made
regarding the host location in early August 2012.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
