  • Abstract:
    Current trends in transport activity volume and growth pose severe challenges for societies aiming to move towards sustainable development.

The Conference, held in Vancouver, Canada, from 24-27 March 1996 brought together over 400 stakeholders in the transport sector (automobile and alternative vehicle manufacturers, fuel producers, government officials, regional and local planners, etc.) from 25 countries, in order to develop a vision of -- and chart a course towards -- sustainable transport.
