For three days, Ministers from the International Transport Forum’s 52 member countries, prominent business leaders,
top academics and representatives of civil society gathered in Leipzig in Germany from 25 to 27 May 2011 to debate the
theme “Transport for Society”. Participants listened to inspiring keynotes and engaged in a vibrant exchange on the
future of mobility, with issues ranging from road safety to accessibility, mobility rights to financing transport systems
under tight budgets, sustainable urban travel to balancing transport security with civil liberties. Now in its fourth year,
the International Transport Forum’s annual summit has clearly established itself as the leading global mobility event.
The rich output of the high-calibre debates in Leipzig is accessible via this website. You can
watch the keynotes by Jeffrey Sachs,
Jeremy Rifkin, Enrique Penalosa and Jaime Lerner. You can
