In 2022, I attended the 15th Urban Mobility India (UMI) Conference & Expo 2022.
The Urban Mobility India Conference & Expo is a key annual event in India that brings together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, industry, and other stakeholders working on urban transport and sustainable mobility. The 15th edition focused on sharing best practices, innovative solutions, and policy directions for improving mobility in Indian cities.
Focus of the conference
The conference covered a wide range of topics, including:
- Sustainable and inclusive urban transport planning
- Public transport systems and multimodal integration
- Intelligent transport systems and data-driven decision making
- Non-motorised transport, safety, and liveable streets
The sessions highlighted how cities are experimenting with new ideas to improve accessibility, safety, and environmental performance.
My takeaways
- The importance of data and analytics in understanding travel patterns and supporting better policy decisions
- The role of integrated, people-centric planning in making public transport more attractive
- Opportunities to connect research on intelligent transport systems with real-world urban mobility challenges
