Increasing our understanding of urban mobility and mobility practices, enhancing our assessment of modal choices in transportation practices, are important components in the setting of public policies for mobility, for transportation and for urban development. In China, development and transportation decisions have major implications for the future, because they involve often radical transformations of the urban landscape and of lifestyles. These decisions are often based on quantitative analyses which use data that ignore too many phenomena and elements which are actually fundamental to the reality of urban mobility. Today, China’s universities play an essential role in defining the new practices and the new policies; to perform this role, they need feedback and discussion with the rest of the world.
In order to contribute to the emerging improvement in approaches to urban mobility in China, IVM and the University of Tongji in Shanghai have together created an academic chair. This Chair is an additional link in the chain of relations between IVM and the University of Tongji. It seals a partnership that began three years ago with Professor Pan Haixiao. Under his supervision, the Chair hosts European experts (teachers, researchers, etc.) for educational visits around the theme of mobility from a resolutely multidisciplinary perspective. Its creation was officially announced at a meeting organized at the University of Tongji on April 8, 2005.
In his inaugural lecture in December 2005, François Ascher, Professor at the French Institute of Urban Planning and Chairman of IVM’s Scientific and Strategy Council, reiterated the functions of a space of international exchange for a different understanding of urban mobility.
