The one-day conference on Thursday 17 September is expected to draw around 150 attendees with professional, government and NGO interest in the sector. The following day, 18 September, is Parking Day 2020, for which we will hold a number of workshops.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
Presentations should run 10-15 minutes, short and to the point. Shorter presentations are also welcome and will be considered for a “5-Minute Thesis” section. Longer papers will be considered if of especial interest to the Hong Kong transport community.
Submissions should include a brief abstract of the paper (200-300 words), although more detail is welcome, and should also answer the question:
“How does this help Hong Kong address sustainable mobility issues against the backdrop of a city wedded to a ‘Vehicles First’ transport approach?”
