 Mai 2018 - Les mobilités du futur : vecteurs techniques, modèles économiques et politiques publiques
The way out of institutional complexity: Transport for London (TfL)
Par Alex WILLIAMS
Director of City Planning, Transport for London
Cities are the economic powerhouses of nations, cultural and artistic hubs that draw in greater and greater proportions of the world population to exchange ideas and histories and create new lives, jobs, homes and growth. Yet, around the world, cities are grappling with the same problems – pollution, poor air quality, congestion, poor health, a lack of housing and patchy access to jobs and opportunities.
Transport is a key part of the solution to many of these issues. Affordable, reliable and safe transport services can unlock the power of transport to improve people’s lives.
This is perhaps why there are many cities around the world where the way that people travel has become synonymous with the city itself. The Paris Metro, or New York’s subway and iconic yellow taxis spring to mind.
But no other city is as recognised by its transport system as is London. Our red double deck buses, black taxi cabs and London Underground trains are known the world over, and our distinctive ‘roundel’ logo – which features on all of our services – is one of the world’s most recognised brands.
