With over 450 kilometers of cycling network, Rio will open its arms to welcome cyclists, tourists and entrepreneurs interested in further promoting cycling in the country and in the world.

TRA 2018 is an arena for researchers, companies and public authorities active in the field of transport. It welcomes policy makers and stakeholders framing research and transport policy. Together they will share and discuss new ideas, research results, technological solutions and new business models. Together they will experience and shape the future of transport and mobility for people and goods.
Key focus areas will be:

• How digitization is transforming transport & mobility systems

• Decarbonisation & future growth – how to change our mobility system & remain competitive

• Shaping the new mobility landscape – a vision for transport & mobility for Europe

The TRA 2018 programme includes a range of different session formats that will offer ample opportunity to share information on recent findings and to discuss the aforementioned challenges and opportunities. In scientific and technical sessions, a broad spectrum of research and innovation activities will be discussed, ranging from basic research findings over application-oriented engineering and socio-economic aspects to policies and standards.

"You can take the bike anywhere; the bike can take you anywhere.  Two terms, two images that are inextricably linked with each other! The Dutch really enjoy cycling. Most Dutch people (84%) own one or sometimes more bicycles. Of the 17 million inhabitants in the Netherlands, 13.5 million are cyclists and they own 22.3 million bicycles in total! There is no other similarly affluent country in the world where bicycles are used so intensively!" -Velo-city 2017

The city is no longer considered the simple result of the sum of individual buildings, on the contrary for several decades there has been a strong current of reassessment of public spaces as the fundamental epicenter of the city and urban life. In this sense, in recent years there has been a growing interest in addressing the problem of public spaces - in their broadest definition - as key places in the development of a city, with the potential to trigger reinvention processes and reverse situations of segregation and urban inequality.

​

La ciudad ya no es considerada como el simple resultado de la sumatoria de edificaciones individuales, por el contrario desde hace varias décadas se inició una fuerte corriente de revalorización de los espacios públicos como el soporte fundamental de la ciudad y la vida urbana. En este sentido en los últimos años se ha visto un creciente interés en abordar la problemática de los espacios públicos –en su definición más amplia- como lugares claves en el desarrollo de una ciudad, con el potencial de gatillar procesos de regeneración y de revertir situaciones de segregación y desigualdad urbana.
