قسمتي از متن فيلم: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen hard to believe but we have actually arrived at the final plenary of transforming transportation 2015 and uh it has really been such an intensive two days that uh as i say it’s hard to believe that it’s already over again and again throughout the past two

Days we have heard speakers here on the stage and also in the audience describing truly exciting initiatives that can make urban mobility a catalyst for social economic and environmental change in other words as somebody told me was discussed in the logistics session we need to find local solutions

For global problems and cities can do that we’ve talked about new policy approaches to promote coordination and connectivity not only within cities but between them as well as between municipal national and regional actors we’ve talked about technological game changers we’ve talked about systemic urban planning approaches we’ve talked about new

Shared stakeholder approaches to making roads safer we’ve talked about innovative financing and we’ve discussed new links between the public and private sectors so there are a whole wealth of transformative approaches and initiatives out there as we’ve been discussing in our plenaries and in our parallel sessions the question is how do

We now maximize their impact talking about that is the goal of this final session and we’re looking to produce really actionable suggestions and commitments here in this final plenary which is why we’ve entitled it call for action boosting shared prosperity through sustainable urban transport and before i introduce our panelists or

Remind you who they are since you have seen several of them already in the course of the past two days let me remind you that you can follow transforming transportation on social media at hashtag dttdc15 and you can get more detailed conference information and this is important copies

Of the presentations they will also be made available on the website so that’s www.transformingtransportation.org you will find copies of the presentations going up on that website as the conference comes to an end so the conference lives beyond this final session and finally one more remark i know you’re

Tired of hearing about it but we’re still missing a translation headset from yesterday if you happen to know where it is there might be a reward for you if you turn it in so many no the reward is not a translation headset because they cost 400 a pop so

Your reward will be something perhaps a bit more modest it is now my pleasure to introduce our panelists beginning over here on the right with jorge kogan he is senior advisor to the vice president of infrastructure at caf development bank of latin america and head of the bank’s transport group formerly secretary of

Transportation for argentina he also has extensive experience working with the private sector and he has served as consultant to a very wide range of firms and institutions seated next to him and now i’m going to take a deep breath and try to get the pronunciation right is corny sort of not really

He is the secretary general of the partnership on sustainable low-carbon transport slocat the largest multi-stakeholder partnership on sustainable low-carbon transport in developing countries he played a lead role in the development of the voluntary commitments on sustainable transport at the rio plus 20 conference including the unprecedented u.s uh 175 billion dollar

Commitment for more sustainable transport by the world’s eight largest multilateral development banks now i’m going to skip over to this side and alan flausch who is secretary general of the international association of public transport uitp he’s also served as uit president and as chairman of its finance and commerce subcommittee and until 2011

He was ceo of the brussels pt operator stib where he led a complete renewal of the company’s commercial approach and management and now for our hosts on my right aniruda is the global director of the wri ross center for sustainable cities he’s also leading the center’s team of global

Experts in sustainable transport urban development and building efficiency and serving as a member of the world resource institute’s global management team helping shape its overall strategy and growth prior to joining wri and he served as the director of knowledge and learning right here at the world bank where he provided leadership and

Direction for the bank’s role in offering knowledge services for development and finally jose luis iron known to almost all of you i think but i’ll introduce him nonetheless director of the transport and information and communications technologies global practice at the world bank it is responsible for all transport and ict

Activities with an active portfolio of around 42 billion us dollars in lending commitments and 224 projects in supervision so gentlemen and uh it is gentlemen of course uh has uh behooves the transit uh transport uh sector uh we have uh a one gender panel uh gentlemen i would

Very much like to hear from you what you see as the key takeaways of these past two days now of course i realized that not everybody could attend every session many of you were also in bilateral meetings in the two days but given that there were a number of key messages that

Were in fact repeated from session to session i’m hopeful that you can help us really put together uh a picture of the main takeaway so i’ll begin right here with jorge hogan and ask you to get us started thank you melinda and good afternoon to everyone here

Some of my friends here in the podium are always saying that they are prepared for the worst when i start talking and they expect that my realistic view will not become too negative so since they are going to be very positive what they are going to say after i talk i just made

My first reaction i just a couple of hours ago i met with someone who had been working in the world bank for many many years and left three or four years ago and he looked at the transforming transportation program and he said this has nothing to do with what i

Read in the transforming transportation that i attended seven or eight years ago what’s going on uh are you still talking about transportation or what is this meeting all about and i think that one of the main good things that are coming out of this is that the transport experts the transport practitioners are

Changing the language we have opened our minds to many other subjects that we didn’t consider 20 15 even 10 years ago and i think that this is attracting other disciplines and is bringing the discussion to a much more realistic level in where people matters more than the technicalities having said that and

Coming personally from latin america and working for a latin american multilateral development bank i find some things that are a little bit out of the real world in this discussion there is a lot of generalization and when we are talking about cities we are talking about cities in general but the cities

Of the first and the second and the third world are very different among themselves when you go to regions within the same region and even within the same countries cities are very different and many of the concepts that we have been discussing today in many cases are meaningless

For the people and for the authorities of those cities so i think that the language is good i think that we probably are discussing the right agenda but this agenda is not possible to be generalized cannot become universal and we always have the risk of getting isolated from from the reality

Many cities are still lacking of the basics and lacking of the basics stop them from getting involved in this much more sophisticated agenda so you talk to many authorities in the region about sdg and are using the letters to make it even more complicated or you can say cop

۲۰ or 21st which i did it a couple of months ago inviting people to come to lima and even talking to ministers in some of the countries and i said are you guys into cop 21 sorry 20 and they say what can you tell me what cop is all about

Yeah i heard there is a meeting in lima what what is the meaning of cop and i said well talk the partners and this partners of what so they cannot even understand the words that we are talking about and we all believe that these words are

Like the first words that the babies are saying when they are born so this is a this is widening the gap and i think we must avoid this happening because then we will leave all this other big amount of interest or political will out of the

Picture and i think this is something to be looked at the other conclusion or my personal conclusion of all these discussions is that we are talking about cities and it looks like cities where most of the development is taking place in the world but particularly latin america they mention the figures have

Been mentioned 80 percent of the population lives in the region there is the the city in the cities cities is the place where most of the social conflicts are taking place where the inequality is very clear many cities are becoming very energetic but these energetic cities in many cases

Have to deal with very lazy national governments so how to resolve this conflict in where energetic cities with a lot of ideas and modern proposals but with no money have to deal with lazy national governments that have the money but are not interested in the city because the power of making the changes

Are within the authorities of the city but these authorities cannot do much than general policies if they don’t have the money this is another gap that had to be resolved one way or the other because otherwise the token is going to go on and on and on and we will be very little

Implemented in the real world so uh a proposal and something that i have felt that that has not been tackled during these discussions and this is the people citizens we are talking about measures policies that are for the people but i cannot see very clear how people is participating i think that the

Only the only way that the countries can change that the mayors or the authorities of the city can force national government is if there is a demand from the people and people needs to be educated people needs information that is not provided people needs to be empowered to make their voice be heard

And if people get information and is in power probably people can create the debate and this debate could probably force local and national authorities to pay attention to these demands and eventually work together to sort out the problems that we for the moment had just put forward but with very little ways of

Finding the solutions thank you very much that was a takeaway plus maybe a suggestion for transforming transportation 2016 as i read it uh so uh i’ve i’ve put it down in my notes on to our next uh thoughts on takeaways key messages from mr hausengren thank you well york i can assure you

That it was a resounding success there’s nothing to criticize in terms of transforming transportation that i would like to make four points first is the organizers are successful in every year in increasing the number of participants they are also successful in keeping the participants in the room which means that they are doing

Something good because all of many of us have organized workshops and we know how difficult it is to keep the people so so i would say that that’s one takeaway is that the topic and the way that the thing is being set up that that this that appears to work

And i think that the the the constituency is becoming broader and broader and i think that this is something like jorge was was pointing at it’s like i say we need to have buy-in and i think like obviously there are always possibilities to to broaden it further

Along the lines that you were indicating but i think that the fact is that if we see what is happening in this process that this actually is is working quite well in terms of the the substance i think that with the focus on cities what we see is a further aligning of agendas

And i think that this is a typical case of the glass is half full the glass is half empty that you could say it is very good that we have this integrated approach to cities and transport and that we not just focus on transport that we put it in the wider context

You say like if you put it from the other side is there a danger that we are going too far and that that we would lose the the specific perspective on transport so so i think that that’s a question like where the organizers need to balance carefully in order to maintain

That it is transforming transportation and that is not transforming cities the third point is is on knowledge like in a way like a conference like this has has an important role in in disseminating knowledge what we do see in in certain areas that there is a deepening of knowledge and

That that that new research is being presented and that that we gain new insights on the other hand we also see that in some areas that that we are actually repeating and rehashing the same old numbers that have been heard many times so so how do we balance that

Because it might be that these old numbers are old news for some of us but it might still be new news for for others but but the question is like in a way you could say that transforming transportation also has a function in setting the research agenda so so that

That is a function with which is important as well then as you rightfully said melinda not all of us have been able to attend all the sessions so you could say transforming transportation is is partly achieved through imparting knowledge it is also about action and you ask us

In the next round to talk about commitments and things like that you could say that transforming transportation is also a marketplace and if you would look at why is it that a lot of us are coming in the cold in the first week of january while we’re still starting up

Our work because this is where where you can make contacts and i think that that’s the tricky issue because on the one hand you would like to have the people in the room but on the other hand i’m certain that the organized organizers are also entirely sympathetic to the idea that

Deals are being made that projects are being born that that new ideas are being formed and things like that so the challenge is in the for example like yesterday or there was no lunch that which is an important networking function so in in that sense

No but it’s like it it is something with which plays a role that uh so so i think that the same way as that heart is making a proposal uh that my proposal would be it’s not what you think that’s that my proposal would be is like how do you create a space

In the conference in a manner that it does not go at the expense of the conference itself but that this this networking how do you facilitate and how do you enable that and i think that also as the organizers it would be good i think that if as the

Organizers if you would be able to keep track somehow of the deals which are being made here because i think that this would substantially enhance the attractiveness of the conference that you say to to future participants or to future sponsors or or to to to presenters and i think that so so that’s

The proposal from my side thank you very much we’re going to skip over ani and jose luis for now and come back to them in the end of the round so ella flausch next over to you yeah i will thank you i will not concentrate on the the format

We as uitp we are we are used to organize events of that kind enough and if we can share with the organizer something we’ll do with this pleasure but it’s not really what i i want to concentrate today what i’m interested in too is that you

Know the concept of smart city in in french we we use the word it’s a spanish inn that means you can get everything in this concept and it’s meaningless i mean that’s the danger of and i think fortunately enough this conference was used to make this concept a bit more robust and more

Specific which i think was is an excellent thing because i’m afraid of you know like the word sustainable transport or smart cities something that you use it’s a word and finally is no action so i i’m very thankful for for this because i had some session today which shows that things

Are moving in this direction although i do consider like jose vegas yesterday is that there is a first meeting of smart city and this first meeting is just providing a good public transport and biking and cycling system uh and walking system in a city if we

Could do this on a worldwide base we’ll be already very happy but in some part of the in york is is great it’s true that when you talk to smart city in certain parts of the world it’s it’s not really the urgency today and uh

But the whole idea is also that we could leapfrog and and try to avoid some the mistake that we made in the developed world to go directly to the the smart uh cities in in listening to to some of the people from mexico for instance where oh of india where they’re

Talking about hundreds smart city which is only a small part of the country it’s already a very interesting experience from my viewpoint because it’s it’s trying not to be totally dragging behind the rest of the world and on the contrary to try to to keep going now

What i was thought also interesting is that you know smart cities is not only political decision making deciding that they want to go that way which is absolute required but it’s also how they can cope and work with the private sector i think that’s

There is a lot of thing to do in terms of capacity building learning curve in trying to be sure that all the cities are properly equipped with the right skills to deal with the big group you know when you talk to ibm or you talk to siemens i mean you can be eaten

Quite easily because they they know they know the game for a long time and i i think in this respect i kind of claim that the public transport people are eventually the one that can help the cities because we are used to this sort of relation with the industry help the

Cities to build the capacity and skills that are needed to to approach the problem and to build solution uh in a smart way when i listen to ibm or cisco i think that we have now in front of us people they know what they’re talking about now they talk they

Of course want to sell which is absolutely normal but on the same side it could be sometimes selling things that we don’t need and so maybe there there’s just a lot of work to do to to try to build that community and the trust that it is needed i’m a member of

A high-level group another one in europe on smart cities and the first meeting was absolutely stunning in this respect because you had mayor of large city like barcelona or russia or and they would look at the industry like you know i wouldn’t say cats and dogs but at least unknown territory and known

Animals because they’re not generally doing this and it takes a while just to build this and this place is a good place for this to happen that’s the two things at this point in time i will keep in mind for for now thank you very much now i’d like to ask

Ani dasgupta for your key takeaways thanks i i first want to say you know i’d say it’s an absolute pleasure and privilege to be here representing another organization to working with my dear friends and co-hosting this is great privilege to be sitting next to jose luzergen the same host talking about this so

It’s kind of a weird feeling but kind of nice but you know this is my first transforming transportation uh i know in my in this panel i think everyone this might be the 15th or 10th or fourth minus first and uh i actually liked it a lot and

And the funny thing is i’ve actually worked in this building for 20 years and i’ve never attended one of these and that’s what i thought this this particular forum is trying to change uh i thought that what the whole whole two days was about putting transportation the context of other things that’s going

On that’s what’s my observation how how what’s happening to climate what happened to the cities what’s happening in technology what’s happening to the city itself and land value so my takeaways were slightly more positive um and just because i have nothing to compare with um that was relativizing in a big way

So i just want to point to four things that uh stuck to my and and like i don’t know i mean like you said i wasn’t able to attend all of them but i was able to actually meet fantastic people at the same time which i’m very happy about um

So one thing i thought i think president caldron started putting some ideas together the idea of connectedness and how connected cities have multiple co-benefit to the economy to productivity to the climate that kind of trickled through during the discussions and this this whole idea of how transit and connectedness in a city actually

Makes a city very different how you live it how you how you uh be productive in a city and how you actually experience the city actually changes if you change these things so i thought that the framework that carlton would embrace and how it trickled through i think

It might be repeated a lot of us know it but that becoming an accepted part of our discourse i think is actually very interesting second i do agree that a lot of our technology colleagues are are selling things right they um that’s their business but i thought the main

Message was a lot of the technology is here but is it how we actually work with it how we use it to make cities government at the one time to take smart informed more evidence-based decisions about how they do things at the same time how we can leverage that to make

Citizens more we’re finding holding governments more accountable participating in a different way in different decisions these are things for us to use technology to do so so i actually found that that message at least to me that the technology was here is actually for us to figure out how

Best we can use it there were a lot of discussion um and which i like very much because i come from the city’s background um of of connection of cities transit transport and land use and change of land use and how this directly affects not only the price and cost and also

How is how inclusive a city is or how poor people where people will get to live how far they live from the city center how how much they can live and access the various parts of city that actually makes us prosperous access to jobs access to uh education access to uh

Recreation so that conversation which i i think has to happen much more of how transit actually affects this where people get to live where people get to work how quickly they get to work how much productive they are how much time the waste getting to work and things like that

So the the whole idea of inclusion of of different parts of society and cities is very much connected to how cities actually move people around i thought that resonated with me and they would be in couple of conversations and finally um i do think that uh this year especially this year

That a lot of these things we will achieve or not achieve will be very dependent on the connections we make and the and the partners we have partnership we have the wri for example not only have partnered with the bank but c-40s of the world the eccles of the world to get actually

Things done together so for us that is a very important part of how we want to do our work and i hope that is one function of organ of events like that to strengthen those or build new uh partnership for us thanks thank you very much one my turn

So a very interesting discussion these two days and i agree that the former president canderon really was able to set the stage in a fantastic manner we like to perhaps put together three and the kind of key messages under three labels that i heard the first was

Has to do with speed and scale likely or not you can see that local issues like congestion air pollution because of the context in which we are the emerging trends these issues are becoming now national and global priorities when we talk about emissions in a city it’s a

Global priority when we talk about the impact that cities congestion could have in a given country becomes a national issue so likely or not the three have to come together and in order to be to have impact you need to have concerted action at these three levels so some of you

Work at a very local level and may think all these discussions that corny brings every year about where we go with the global agenda well we need all of this to first voice raise awareness of these issues and also because through this concerted action we make it easier for those who have to

Take different tough decisions to implement them so we have this calendar this year in which we have three big things converging and we have to be ready as a community to come with one voice on what we want how we want to be prepared to have an impactful discussion so probably for

The sdgs we may need to have a robust result framework that could be measurable and credible for the global community to accept the transport targets for the cop we will need probably to have some bold action like discussion we had on removing free subsidies for example in certain countries proposals or

Really bold action on a number of cities or countries that are committing and what is important is that we prepare all this on time to influence the discussions pro safety probably will need not only to push from the global side but also to work more closely with civil society so

That they can put pressure on governments and create the demand for uh for action on road safety and we have a limited time frame this is the year so we have to be very careful how we bring all this community together in order to influence the process the

Second set of messages we put it under the label of leadership courage and policies we have a lot we heard a lot about the need to have strong leadership and the courage to challenge the status quo you heard uh mayor mancera talking about this reform the mobile law

And the need to reform for example minibuses we all know this is one of the most sensitive things you can do it’s really problematic it will be easier to do more and more brts but when he says that 60 of the missions are coming from that we need to pay attention it doesn’t

Matter how difficult it is so that’s why when i say that this concerted action will make more easier will make it easier for mayors like mancera to do that kind of reform and also we heard a lot about policies and we don’t have money but at the same

Time we have at hand a menu of instruments like parking policies for example that have tremendous impact the issue of field subsidies that i mentioned betterment levies on land value capture see what prevents us from doing that so there is a responsibility for these leaders and for the trump community to support

This is decisive action in these fields when you see today bogota and trans millennial we were really we had a privilege to support trump millennial but before that there was a mayor that had to pass the betterment levies as they were calling in the context of colombia in bogota to really

Take the city out of bankruptcy and make this happen so as we heard from several of our speakers you can achieve results in three years provided you have this vision the policies associated with that and the courage to implement them and the third label is partnering and sharing we heard about sharing

Everything bicycles cars i would like to highlight two aspects here one is as i mentioned before concerted action will imply that national governments work together with the cities in the context of new york may not be needed in the context of many emerging cities if there is a need it

Will take time until you generate all the the resources you need so it’s very important that they work together so that’s one partnership then there is the partnership of knowledge sharing that you hear a lot and this is an example and we are all here committed to doing

That and then there is a third kind of partnership when we talk about ppp we usually think oh we bring the private sector to finance back trunk infrastructure there’s something more than that is the role of a government in creating a platform that will allow the private sector

Working together with the public sector in creating value and business for initiatives for innovative initiatives that could bring solutions for example in paris uh this uh how to live or what’s the name of the car sharing arrangement electric car sharing arrangement auto electric car sharing arrangement it will

Not be possible if the government doesn’t offer for example prefer parking and facility to charge the batteries so in doing so you create value you generate a possibility of a business so that’s the kind of partnerships that we have to explore in order to bring innovation and and and promote more

Solutions that can accelerate and move forward very good thank you very much now i’d like to come to the actionable part i would like to ask each of you to tell us what is your organization what is the institution which you represent going to commit to make the things happen that

We’ve been talking about here and i’d like to ask you too because i am mindful that our time is limited tell us first of all what you’re going to do and then tell us but briefly what you need other stakeholders to do to make that happen

So it’s a call for action first of all for you on to yourselves uh and only secondarily to others and i’m going to go this time in this direction i’ll start with anna flausch yeah as you all know this year is a is a climate change here is sdg a year so obviously

There is work to do there and my first i wouldn’t say routine work but as a representative of a larger number of operators of the world and and people that commit to help in this respect obviously i will make sure that the commitment go for it that we monitor

Them and then we keep in enlarged the number of people that are committed to help in in this regard but it’s i would say it’s already i wouldn’t say it’s past but i think what we need you know we need to build i’m also looking the car manufacturer

Industry they are powerful they are rich they have been able to build for the last 50 years a huge lobby a huge gathering of stakeholders that are for the car and we are very weak in comparison to them so if we want things to move we need to build coalition

Now the argument for public transportation and for sustainable transportation is generally being all well-known uh you know it’s environment aspect it’s a inclusion aspect it’s a health suspect although i think we should develop more these fatalities and health parts but there’s one thing which always kept being in the mind of many people

Is that public transport is the transportation for the poor which i think is a great mission by the way but which is also damaging um the view where politicians are looking at us you know we are spending a lot of money we politicians and it’s huge money to invest in this

This is so they never liked or or dossier they they just look at us as being spending too much i think we should do it the other way around and we should show how public transport is a part of the economic development and creating of growth growth and jobs

And for that purpose i think we missed i did that for a few years already but on a general basis we need to make a coalition with the business people this may look like a very anglo-saxon approach and indeed it’s in england for instance london where this is working

Fine and i think we really can see and make with them an alliance to develop public transport because the connectivity in the city the attractivity of a city attracting people to come and work or to farm and invest all this depends on building a livable cities and i disagree

With corny in this respect i think transportation is just a means for the sake of developing our cities i love transportation being in it but i do think it’s a bit wider goal uh and it’s developing cities which is of importance for us today and in that

Respect i would just want to give an example you know that in in in london um of course it’s a big city but it’s the same in my city which is a smaller city in brussels in london uh london had a terrible problem of commute every day the tube was not good enough

And so they decided some years ago to build a crossrail 18 billion pounds investment and cross rail 2 is starting now so it means there is another need to a transactional transactional uh rail system of course who advocate for this first was tfl was transferred for london the transport engineer the transport planner

But what was smart to do was to try and go and see the business community and ask the business community to best to be the best advocate for his and had happened that means that basically the business community went to see the government of england and said if you are not doing

This we’re gonna leave london sooner or later because the life of our people is terrible employees are already tired when they arrive at the office in the morning and so what happened is that the business community went to play for that case and in addition to this they put money on the bill

So of course not everything because for this sort of infrastructure is more public money the abnormal long run is needed but they accept that the tax special taxation would be levied on them so as to make kind of an office tax or whatever so has to make part of the

Contribution i think this is something that i want to continue to develop because i think we should no longer be viewed as spenders but people investing in the future and creating value both when we’re building this sort of infrastructure when we’re operating them but also about the interact impact that

It has you all know that a street where a corridor where you have either brt because i know we have a lot of brt fans here but if you have rail rail around this corridor you have all development the development of house of business value

Capture is in in the pipe also for this so we really have a capacity to create wealth and if we have capacity career as well as we are becoming viewed by the decision makers very differently thank you thank you very much and that is a very good example of taking a

Message that we just discussed namely that a connected city is a city with a more vibrant business community a more livable city and turning into into actionable uh measures so thank you very much for that and i’m going to skip over once again and go straight to corny housing thank you

Alain use the words we have a lot of work to do in 2015. i would say 2015 is the year that we can unleash our passion which is a different way of approaching it like looking at it 2015 is a year that gives us the privilege to shape our future

And i think that how often does this opportunity come come by there will be many people who will be working in transport who will not have the opportunity to to actually exercise and influence on what the world will look like and this is a unique opportunity that is

Is created for us in 2015 by putting the climate and the sustainable agenda agenda in the same year like i was and i think that this is an opportunity obviously that that we should grasp but we should not look upon this as we say like this is a complicated institutional

Process this is a lot of extra work and things like that we need to say like how do we how can we own the process how can we make certain that it will go in a direction that we want it to go and this is something

Where we could say like you asked us what we will do like slow cut will continue to act as the global voice on sustainable transport the first thing that we will do is following the remarks of my neighbor is that we will try to unpack these processes

What does it mean sdg what does it mean cop so how can we make this clear to a wider audience and say that and simplify the process it is clear that a certain amount of advocacy is needed like we know that after how many how many transforming transportations have we had

Okay after 12 we we really know what sustainable transport is about so what we need to make certain is that we get word out to this larger community into this process in doing so i think it will be important to go beyond just the advocacy and say what is sustainable transport and what

Would we like to see one of the key things will be the means of implementation if we don’t have means of implementation we will not be able to implement sustainable transport at scale and i think that that is another gift i would say that we have received

Here in 2015 with these two processes these two processes are putting a time dimension to the change that is required and that is especially because of the climate change process the climate change process does not say you should do sustainable transport but the climate change process says we need

To do sustainable transport at a rate that we are able to achieve the two degree scenario the sustainable development goals say you should do sustainable transport at a rate that we can eradicate poverty by 2030. so and that is this needs to be reflected in the means

Of implementation and i would say that over the last years we have been practicing our arguments and we need to we need to rally these arguments now and we need to make certain that this comes together in the indicators for the for the sustainable development

Goals so that we have a robust set of indicators and that we say we as transport sector by delivering these indicators we’ll be able to do our part in the global agenda it is important that we are also that we look at the financing and i think that this has been mentioned by

Several people on the stage already that if there is no financing in place for the indicators at scale we are not going to deliver it so we will need to continue the discussion on finance that which took place here in transforming transportation which has been taking place at other places also

Over the past years the transport sector has made commitments we made commitments and you mentioned the 175 billion dollars from rio but we also heard like the uitp commitment and the other commitments which were made in uh in in new york during the the climate summit of the secretary general

So you could say that the credibility of the transport sector is at stake we need to ensure that the commitments that we have made in the last two years that we are actually delivering those so in that context we will come up with a report

By the middle of the year to take stock of where these commitments are we will also give the opportunity to people who want to make new commitments so so that we actually add on to this but it is clear that if we are not able to give means of implementation we are

Not going to achieve it what is important is where we will be working on this year is building national support how many people sitting in this room represent a national government so we have about five votes who can vote in favor of transport in the sustainable development goal process and climate process

So it will be essential to actually leave the room leave the comfort of our own offices and of our own organizations and to enter into a dialogue with the countries to make this happen and then lastly following up what what what what is saying is that governments if they govern properly do what

The people tell them so it is important that there is also a certain amount of pressure coming from the general public so while slow cut is up is not a organization which is about mass mobilization but we have members who are doing these kinds of things so we would

Like to work with them as well but i would like to come back to the first remark 2015 is the year that we can unleash our passion for sustainable transport at the scale at the stage which is unprecedented thanks very much jorge please actions a caf is a bank and

The main activity that we do is to lend money to our country members so we will continue lending money under our own agenda and and also under the commitment that we had made and connie just referred to the commitment that we made together with the asian development bank the african development

Bank the islamic development bank european investment bank the european development bank the world bank and idb to put 175 billion dollars in 10 years trying to emphasize sustainable transport and that doesn’t mean that we are going to stop building roads we have to continue building roads because we don’t

Build or we don’t find projects that we want to fund we fund the projects that are requested by the member countries and the member countries in many of these regions that we are helping are still needing roads and notice because the hundred percent of the population is

Going to have cars is because they need at least one road to get one bus or one truck to take their children to school or to take sick people to hospitals and without the road many times it’s impossible to do it if you have to go on a bicycle you need

Also a road so we will continue financing the countries we will try to put the emphasis in sustainable transport and what we are doing in caf that in 10 15 years ago we probably 60 percent of the portfolio was transport and 80 percent of that were roads rural roads now we have

Changed and switched and we’ve been financing a lot of public transport system in the last few years together with the world bank and idb we have been recently financing the metro in panama metro in lima metronquito so there is a number of big projects in latin america that you haven’t seen

In the previous 20 years that now are taking place in addition to the funding we provide technical assistance we help the country’s members and i repeat country members are our owners they are the partners of these banks we are not independent bodies as a myth of many

People can come with a hammer and tell countries what they have to do and how they have to do it the countries are the owners of our banks and we have to have a relationship that makes things happen in the best possible way financing the project they need but

Trying to help them to do the projects in the best possible way in addition to the funding we are providing a lot of technical assistance creating knowledge and to be aligned with what i mentioned in my first intervention which is the need to provide information to edit educate the civil society to

Make information symmetric for both the government and the citizens we have continued working with the observatory of urban mobility for latin america that had been put in place seven years ago there are now 25 cities of latin america of which we have all kinds of information

That is a public good and as a public good is accessible to everyone anyone journalists citizens kids can reach through the web to that information and know everything they want to know about the transport system in their cities in addition to this observatory three years ago we have launched the program

That is called cities with the future and this is a comprehensive plan to work with the cities not only sector by sector but try to help in planning the cities in a much more comprehensive way and these cities with future are mainly thinking in inclusive urban development transformation of the productive matrix

Making sustainable environment and also producing a strong change in their institutional arrangements which we believe is probably the key for the changes in these cities something that jose was talking about shared i found a little bit funny that we have talked very little about share prosperity which is the name of the

Conference uh and uh but what is prosperity and probably because it’s not quite quite clear what is prosperity is that we haven’t talked about prosperity during the most of the conference when i was young and i heard the word prosperity i thought that prosperity was something like you know creating wealth

Becoming rich just having money and with the money you can buy properties and that is all about prosperity but now prosperity is as many other words becoming something that has to be shared and i agree with this concept and going in depth prosperity is much more comprehensive

And if we are talking about smart cities for shared prosperity we’re thinking that prosperity is something different than just making a few people rich last year and again aligned with this idea that as a public institution we have to provide information to educate those who want to learn more and

In addition to the information of the urban observatory of the observatory we have made an agreement with you in habitat and we are now creating the city prosperity index so we are now going to measure prosperity to just step out of living this as a conceptual world which

Can become meaningless if you don’t understand what it means so we are working now in trying to determine the index for five latin american cities for those who are interested in knowing which they are is panama quito both la two in ecuador fortaleza and brazil and lima peru this prosperity index

Has a number of many indicators but are indicators related to productivity quality of life infrastructure where transportation is a key element equity and social inclusion environmental sustainability and the last but not least legislation and governance and this is a key factor by when we probably at the end of this year have the

City prosperity index of these five cities we will be able to start measuring the prosperity and governments local governments that will want to work in the share of prosperity among their citizens will be through these indicators able to understand what things has to be changed and how they

Compare to other cities in order to make this concept of prosperity something that is more easy to understand so so far these are the actions and uh we think that we in our actions and aligning the words that we are saying in public as i started my presentation in my first

Intervention thank you very much anita scupta thanks i just want i mean all our panelists talked about how important the sierra is and we fully and totally believe that i want to extend not only the the paris meeting the sdg meetings but also next spring is the habitat 3

Meeting these are all connected events and i actually do believe that this is a opportunity for us to to bring together all the things that we agree on and as as as always says together so we more single voice we are better it will be

I do think we are in a good position i mean when uh the meeting in new york uh in preparation to the lima meeting took place that the secretary general organized cities was a very important part of the conversation the cities actually matter a big way to climate

Change discussion i think that’s that is getting to be common wisdom and transportation and mobility matters a lot to how cities function so it’s it’s a good discussion the good direction that’s going on and i hope we achieve um very simple with with our support and everyone’s support achieve

Substantial outcomes there and this is a great opportunity this year so i don’t want to repeat what i said we believe that’s our work to bring to our organization obviously both sides to support these global processes and on specific things we would do uh in new york when people met the

۱۶ mayor sign on the mayor’s protocol to make specific uh reduction goals we want to support that process to see what does it mean what are the core benefits of it so that actually matters when the median parish and later so that’s one specific thing we’ll work with our c40 colleagues

We also want very strongly believe that measurement of any of these progress are important and we come together in making sure that we are developing common measurement protocols to make impact as we go forward this is not only not only useful in a nerdy way that measurement is good it’s very important politically

To show that progress is made by to get local communities change behavior to to people to allocate funds towards it so something we have worked with world bank anne hickly on developing the ghg global greenhouse protocol for cities that’s one of the widely used things we are actually working with our partners

Across to help implement i hope more of this happens but this is a start we need to build on that to have much more politically acceptable indicators that’s available to everyone so at the global level like always we want to support the process going forward we want much more

Common practice of measurements across but we like i think a lot of you here believe though the agreements are global pretty much all action is local so we our team very much is focused in working at city and national level to find actual solutions so these commitments can be transferred

Translated to real real changes for people in the ground so we will continue to do so we will focus on developing bringing smart mobility in national policies or local policies like you heard from premier mancera in mexico we are working in india support the government to bring similar

Ideas in the national policy but also we work very locally in specific project to bring these ideas we’re talking about to reality where people are involved in mobility where space is created safe cities are more safer because transportation is more safer and land planning land planning is connected with transportation these are things

Will continue to do so and we are we work in five countries or 57 cities but we think having creating real local solutions with our partners very key to not only local progress but also the global progress we are talking about so but everything we do we do with partners so

Partnership is part and parcel of our business model thank you very much jose luis so our commitments and uh here like to mention under the leadership of pierre and the whole management team and the 300 people that work in the transport and ict practice obviously we’re going to continue with

Our lending stepping up our lending and if you talk about urban transport our portfolio today is 7.7 billion it’s increasing every year the proportion of that goes to urban transport sustainable transport 24 25 this year added part of our annual commitments on road safety we are ensuring that all our road projects are

Addressing road safety with at least an indicator that allows us to work on that agenda or a component and we are committing to bring closer also solutions with our health colleagues an example is for example is in india where we have a road safety corridor and with our health

Colleagues that have a health project in the same state they are doing the health part of that corridor the response to emergencies etc we are committed also to in this context to ensure that we help national governments work with emerging cities and in many cases with the mega cities

That even require some support i’m putting in place the institutional setup that will be needed we know this is complex we have a publication is called the institutional labyrinth but we will continue in spite of the difficulties a second area in which we would like to make a strong commitment

Is in terms of knowledge and tools that we use we want to develop for the benefit of our clients we’ll point here first ongoing efforts to roll out the green gas greenhouse gas emissions analysis for our transport projects calendaria this calendar year every every new appraisal we will introduce

This tool to measure to to trace what is the impact in terms of emissions and we are doing this methodology and working together with our climate change vp who has developed a group with all the multilaterals and all the other efis to come with a harmonized tool because will be a little bit

Embarrassing if different tools give you completely different estimates and sometimes working on the similar projects and in this context also we are working to expand our transport appraisal methodologies to include the other externalities as was mentioned during the conference so not only the the economic aspects but also the local air measuring and

Evaluating the impact of local air pollution congestion transport safety risks in addition to greenhouse emissions all of this come together in a methodology that will give a better sense of how sustainable are our projects also under the knowledge initiatives we like to ensure that everyone has every client has access to

Good data and the knowledge planning tools to make informed decisions you have heard probably the leaders in urban transport program that we are implementing we have been implementing with many of our partners or strategic partners including embark for example in mexico cote in in korea and singapore delano academy in singapore john francis

Uitp so we will continue that effort and we are committed to including in that training a model on emerging cities we are working on another initiative that is to create a robust database in and here maybe along you would like to announce that so we’re going to work together

In which uitp will help in standardizing the kind of information we would like to create a platform so cities and operators can bring their data and as a as a benefit for their contribution they will have access to information from other cities and other operators to benchmark finally

Like to call your attention to the fact that when we were created as a global practice this is transport and ict so we are committing to a vision of smarter cities for example and of using the making bringing the best use of technology to the transport sector

It may look like something that is far it’s a reality already happening in many of our projects the use of technology for example to allow seamless integration between modes now is possible thanks to the smart card and we are using this in several projects but we are seeing also that

Smart solutions are getting smarter we heard in brazil last year the experience of bringing connecting with the subsidies of bolsa familia for example through a smart card and it’s also happening the use of technology to improve the planning and to improve the performance of operators but also the experience of travelers

We are working in brazil for example in sao paulo and in various places this is happening so we are making a strong commitment of everyone every city that wants to work with us on on expanding the use of technology will be there and the idea again is to to

Develop these tools that are centered in supporting the business and in particular citizens the the tension that sometimes exists when when you think about techy solutions is that you believe that it’s only for an elite it’s the opposite we want to and and this is one of the tools that has been

Developed an accessibility tool that will look at access from the poor people access to different different facilities be able to measure the issues in technology you know so on the contrary these are designed to ensure that we can set the solutions that will benefit the poor i think it’s enough of commitments

I was about to say any more and you’re going to make some people in this room nervous i think really i’ve heard some very impressive commitments here i’ve heard commitments that relate to generating standards for measurement of achievements and i’ve also heard commitments relating to multiplying and mobilizing basically to generating

Outreach that perhaps goes back to jorge hogan’s point how do we get bottom-up people-powered change going and i think a lot of you have expressed commitments that do head in that direction and i wish all of you the very best of luck in achieving the commitments that you have made here and

I think one of our goals for 2016 besides serving free lunch possibly um would be would be to uh to measure up on how those commitments how those commitments look a year later you know be happy that it’s limited at lunch the suggestion if belgium were advising you they would surely tell you

That there is no event in belgium that ever takes place without champagne pierre being belgian maybe we have a chance may i before we end this session and move on to the closing words may i briefly say thank you not only to all of our panelists up here on the stage right

Now but also to all of you who have participated in the discussions uh throughout these two days we are not going to take audience questions i’m very sorry but we’re very close to the end of our time and in fact we have to leave this room in 10 minutes so

I would like to say thank you to all of you in the audience for your participation your attention during very intensive sessions uh your contributions and questions all very very helpful in the discussion so many thanks to you and one last thanks to all the partners and sponsors who have made transforming

Transportation 2015 such a very great success i’ll read their names off and then you can applaud for all of them as well the inter-american development bank caf development bank of latin america the asian development bank i’m not reminding you who these organizations are i think you know by now the

Institute for transportation and development policy and the partnership on sustainable low-carbon transport all of the very very very valuable partners in this effort and of course the two sponsors without whom uh it would not have been possible um the the uh transit center the new york city-based foundation and the ptv group which

Provides logistics and transport support all of them have been a very big part of making this event such a success so many thanks to all of them to all of you on the stage and all of you out there
