The event will be attended by several marking figures of the industry, including Elizabeth Deakin, director of the Transportation Research Center, Feng Fei, director general of Industry and Economy at the Development Research Center and John Miles, chairman of the Board of the Arup Group.
“By 2030, 60 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. This will put enormous pressure on urban mobility in the form of pollution, congestion, energy security and traffic safety,” GM China Group President and Managing Director Kevin Wale said in a statement.
“Through the Sustainable Urban Mobility Forum series, we will engage a broad range of stakeholders in the key issues impacting sustainable urban transportation so that future generations will be able to enjoy the freedom of mobility.”
When the series of forums ends in October, GM will publish the “Roadmap to 2030 Blue Paper," the sum of all knowledge and conclusions of the six-month long event.
GM is present at the Expo 2010 together with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. (SAIC), with whom the carmaker is trying to present its vision of the year 2030 mobility.
