This Peer Dialogue is about transport in cities

But it is also about ideas.
Lets have a look at how we got into this pickle.

But before we get started . . .
Who are we? And why are we here?

GETTING AROUND:
Cities, Indolence, Complexity and the Golden Arrow of Harmony
The Book: 2014 The Process: 2012- 2013
195 1- 2011
Some strange, hard to understand things are going on
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

Scenario A: Transport in Cities: 2011
In 2011 a New York City street looked like this:

Hmm!
10
Scenario B: Electronic Transport Development: 1951
In 1951 a computer looked like this (Univac 1)

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.
12
Scenario B: Electronic Transport Development: 2011
And in 2011 a computer looked like this Steve Jobs announcing iPad 2. March 2011
Thats on the order of a trillion-plus times leap in performance in just sixty years (approximately two human generations)
Wow!
14
Clue: Have you given any thought recently to . . .
Zetabytes?
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
15
Ladies, Gentlemen, its obviously time to stop and think
16
How did we get into this embarrassing situation?

The Dark Ages of Transport in Cities
1975 - 2012

Remember the Old Mobility Agenda (Won the battles, lost the war)
These are the main values stressed in the old model Congestion (avoidance) Forecast and build Cars and other motor vehicles (accommodation) Infrastructure (expansion) Speed (important) Distance (expanding) Space (not an issue) Time (saving) Resources (not a problem) Public transport (as absolutely required) Labor (Saving) Electronics (To support above) Problem solving - by big (costly) projects
* Which is pretty much explains how the world got where we are today
Why are we losing the sustainability wars?
Its pretty embarrassing

And why do we keep spending all our money. . .

What do we need to understand about sharing to move ahead?
34
Project/Activity proposals for 2013 (Food for thought)

Will 2013 be a tipping point for transport innovation in China? (And could we make it one?) #1: Redefine Public Transport #2: Get Carsharing into Fifth Gear #3: DRT The future of the road #4: A New Mobility Agenda for Share/Transport #5 A Tai Chi approach to transport policy and practice
35
The New Mobility Agenda

In closing: There points you may wish to recall
1. Complex systems refute sub-optimization
2. Greater diversity of everything

3. Technical virtuosity is vital in support of wise governance
i.e., you still have a job.
