Copenhagen’s mayor of technical and environmental affairs attended this week’s 6456 ITS World Congress on Tuesday to promote the 2018 ITS World Congress, to be held in Denmark’s capital from 17-21 September, 2018.
“We are looking forward to hosting the ITS World Congress in Copenhagen in 2018; we are proud to be one of the world’s most liveable cities – just like Melbourne – and we manage our transport infrastructure to help us create a high-qualityof- life city,” said mayor Morten Kabell.
“Copenhagen will be the world’s first carbon-neutral capital by 2025, and our transport systems and infrastructure are making a big contribution to that; for example, 50% of our commuting trips are by bicycle.
“Our population is growing at 2% a year, and ITS will play an important part in creating a greener city in the future. “By hosting the 2018 World Congress, Copenhagen will learn a lot about the latest technology and developments, and we think we can contribute a lot too,” said Kabell.
Bill Butler, managing director of Brintex, the exhibition partner for Ertico ITS Europe, said coming to Melbourne presented a great opportunity to fly the flag for the 2018 World Congress.
“The event, for which we are expecting over 10,000 international delegates, will include an exhibition, a range of outdoor demonstrations, and a packed program of 12 parallel sessions,” he said.
