Mid-size Cities Take the Lead

21 – 23 September 2016 Yichang, This September, Chinese and international Welcome experts and scholars are convening in Yichang to strategize on urban transit plans at the MOBILIZE summit. This is a much celebrated event for the global transport community and the people of Yichang. On behalf of the Yichang municipal govern- ment and its 4 million residents, I would like to express our most sincere and warm welcome to the distinguished speakers, experts, and friends who have travelled from afar to be here. Yichang, an important transportation hub in China, with 21,000 square kilometer area and more than 2,700 years of history, hosts the relics of the Changyang Ancient Humans, dating back approximately 190,000 years. It is home to Leizu, a worshipped mother figure according to the Chinese legend, Qu Yuan, the world famous ancient poet, and Wang Zhaojun, the First Lady of Hun Peace. Here you can experience the grandeur of the and the magnificent dam finding nature at its best with green mountains and clear water. You can immerse in the time-honored - culture, and visit some of the best-known tourist attractions. Clouds clear for the rising sun at the far end of the Three Gorges. A great city emerges above open water and plains. The beautiful city of Yichang welcomes your visit. I would like to conclude by wishing the conference a complete success and all the best to you!

Xuming Ma, Mayor of Yichang
