Current policy on low carbon city transport seems embedded in the desire to replicate current models, rather than taking the opportunity to creatively rethink urban mobility and encourage different 'travelling behaviour'. Transport can work within our rapidly urbanizing structures - but not in the traditional way. This event looked at how we need to rethink urban design and mobility in a more creative way. It considered:

• What is the future of the car, and how can the success of car-sharing initiatives be replicated more widely in our transport structures?
• Are we likely to see an increase in car sharing in the interim or are people wedded to their vehicles?
• How might technologies such as driverless cars alter our communities, and are such advances desirable?
• How realistic and effective are current policy mechanisms, such as the incentives around electric vehicles, and what other techniques or mechanisms might be employed?
