The World Bank and WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities invite you to Transforming Transportation 2021, the leading conference on mobility and sustainable development.

Whether it’s about connecting people to education and health, boosting economic growth, or taking on climate change, the global transport sector is at the heart of today’s development challenges.

The COVID-19 crisis has only underscored the importance of transport: over the past year, the sector has been instrumental in taking essential workers to their jobs, keeping the economy afloat, and kickstarting global vaccines distribution.

But the pandemic has also created an existential threat for the industry, and could undermine years of efforts toward greener, safer, more inclusive transport.

As the world emerges from COVID, rethinking mobility is now a priority to build better, more resilient transport systems—and promote a sustainable recovery.

To reimagine the future of mobility, Transforming Transportation 2021 will bring together a prestigious lineup of innovators and change makers, including industry CEOs, researchers, government leaders, and the mayors of some of the world’s largest cities.
