As cities become the center of global commerce and daily life, movement within cities and the connections between them can influence business opportunities and determine quality of life. Effective public transport systems not only boost a city's competitive advantage and enhance its livability but can serve as models for sustainable mobility. How can cities in Asia experiencing increasing urbanization take advantage of current technology to create efficient and sustainable transportation systems? As California and the US struggle to overcome a staggering economic crisis, how can sustainable transportation solutions increase cities' economic advantage? And how can such cities in North America and Asia learn from each other?

This conference will explore sustainable transportation ideas, policies, and technologies from California's largest metropolises to the other side of the Pacific. The San Francisco conference will focus on the importance of transit on urban livability and its impact on cities' economic competitiveness as well as on innovative sustainable transportation technologies and systems in North America and Asia. The Los Angeles conference will explore how sustainable mobility can help LA recreate itself as a vibrant green metropolis and focus on best practices, cultural differences, and how North America and Asia can work together to solve collective problems.

These conferences seek to promote long-term collaboration between the US and Asia on sustainable growth by bringing together specialists from the fields of research, technology, architecture, business, urban planning, and policy.
