Congestion, poor air quality, over-crowded public transport, traffi c accidents will remain; in fact it is very likely that they will have got worse. To ensure that cities keep their competitive edge, redoubling efforts and timely investments will bring double benefi ts: sustaining economic activity and local jobs in the short term, and anticipating changes and the (transport) infrastructure necessary for the economy to bounce back in the medium and longer term. Chair: Philippe Segretain, Président, Egis, Paris, France > Credit crunch and economic crisis – a chance or a threat for public transport? The view of a bank 3 Herr Dr. Andreas Hopf, Senior Vice President, Raiffeisenlandesbank NÖ-Wien AG & Managing Director of Central Danube Region, Marketing & Development GmbH, Vienna, Austria. In the current economic downturn, numerous governments call for public investments especially into infrastructure, to stimulate employment and economic activities. However, private capital investments should also be tapped into. How can the sector become more attractive to them and what are the likely consequences of the current situation? Our sector does not have a reputation for high yields of ROI, but it offers security and can be very attractive for long term placement, as well as for risk-averse investors. Public transport facilities do generate patronage and regular cash-fl ow… Money is there! But we need to communicate and campaign more and better and attract the attention of lenders. > Making the right mobility choice José Manuel Pradillo, General Manager, Consorcio Regional de Madrid, Madrid, Spain Madrid is unique in the world - 178 km of metro, 55 km of LRT and 43 km of commuter railways have been built or are expected in just 15 years. It’s the showcase for co/modality, building interchanges, of integration, in one word of seamless mobility. How was this done and how was it affordable? Also how is the economic downturn now affecting this dynamic and the on-going developments of LRT and BRT? What will the counter-attack be? > Why and how to anticipate the end of oil and change mobility? The case of Dubai, host of the 2011 UITP Congress Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman and Executive Director, Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai, United Arab Emirates The Middle East has long been a terra incognita for public transport. But with fi rm growth of population, jobs and urbanisation, the need for effi cient mobility has emerged. Dubai was probably one of the fi rst states to recognise this and to embark on a radical change with the development of an ambitious multimodal system and very supportive policies to get people out of their SUVs. Will this positive policy be impacted by the real-estate contraction? Discover a fresh approach to planning, investment and communicating. > Growth and crisis, contradiction or opportunity? Dr. Jacob Kam, Head of Operations Engineering, MTR Corporation Ltd, MTRC, Hong Kong Building on its reputation of excellence, MTR, Hong Kong listed local metro operator, has embarked on an external growth course. After the successful consolidation of the “home” rail business (merger with KCRC), it has recently managed to expand its activities in mainland China, Asia, the Middle East and most recently in Europe. Asia is hard hit by the current crisis, with the GDP forecast revised from + 4.8% to -1.9% for 2009. How is this affecting the local business and transport needs? Discover how MTR is facing the situation and is diversifying its business portofolio to become less affected.
