2010 Annual Polis Conference
27 November 2010 Dresden
Conference on Innovation in transport for sustainable cities and regions
The Annual Polis Conference provides an opportunity for cities and regions to showcase their transport achievements to a large audience and for the wider transport community to engage with representatives of city and Regional authorities on innovative transport solutions. The conference offers a mix of high-level plenary sessions, with prominent figures debating topical issues, and a wide selection of technical sessions on innovative topics identified by Polis members.
The main driving themes of this conference range from local to global; they are climate change and the local transport response, the impact of a (global) economic downturn on local transport services, and the vision and political ambition that is required to face these challenges and to maintain innovation.
The 24th edition of the Polis Conference will be hosted by the City of Dresden under the auspices of the Mayor of Dresden and Polis President, Helma Orosz.
