Comments Off on Paola Santana on drones and leapfrogging transportation buildouts

Comments Off on New Report Shows More Efficient Urban Transportation Could Save the World $70 Trillion

A new report by the International Energy Agency suggests that these numbers are set to double by 2050 because more and more of the world’s population is moving to cities. To address the issue, the agency has proposed some radical changes in policy and infrastructure planning to address the inevitable reality of more crowded trains and buses and more congestion on the streets. If implemented, these changes in policy and planning could collectively save countries $70 trillion by 2050.
