The Institut pour la ville en mouvement / Cities on the Move
Institute organises an international colloquium and world taxi
festival, September 20-22, 2007 in Lisbon
http://www.ville-en-mouvement.com/taxi/uk/index.html
This colloquium is aimed at professionals, urban transport experts,
researchers, municipal officials and politicians. Through a
resolutely innovative, forward-looking and cross-disciplinary
approach, it seeks foster the exchange of experiences and to bring
out new ideas for sustainable mobilities that are consistent with
lifestyles in the modern city, where the taxi has a key role to play.
The objective of this colloquium is to analyse the factors that
inhibit the growth of taxi services, to evaluate the potential of the
taxi, and to propose technical, social, organizational and economic
solutions …
Three topics for the international colloquium
We would like contributions which take as their starting point the
analysis of the success or difficulties of projects and innovations,
and focus on three types of innovation :
• New demand and new services in urban mobility
• Improvements in performance and productivity through new technologies
• Integrating the taxi into the city
