The City Government of Davao in the Philippines, as part of its transport roadmap, is seeking to modernize its mobility network.

Yale Wong from the Indonesia Australia Partnership for Infrastructure shared the Indonesian context of sustainable urban mobility planning. He underscored the big question around how cities can harness the greater good of technology, ensuring that digital disruption results in net benefits for people.​

Marianne Weinreich from Rambøll and the Cycling Embassy of Denmark highlighted the main findings of their team's study on gender and mobility in a number of capital cities in Europe. She emphasized that gender is one of the most robust determinants of transport choice and shared some insights from their focus group interviews of women, which revealed common strategies when using public transport due to their fears and experiences of harassment. This underlined the need for safer transport infrastructure, as well as technology's role in making transport and mobility easier and safer.​

Richard Sprosen Team Leader of the Penang Smart Mobility Micro-Simulation Model Development shared highlights of the project currently being undertaken with Digital Penang and MBPP in Malaysia under AASCTF. This micro-simulation model study tests and trials the interventions of different policies and designs to help evaluate and communicate the implications of transport policies and solutions to decision-makers, developers, and the public.​
