Making waves: pushing the boat out on waterborne mobility
Historically for many cities, their growth and economic exchanges were built on and around inland and coastal waterways.

However, operational costs, lack of infrastructure, and environmental concerns remain barriers to the development of this alternative to road and rail. This session will explore what can be done to unlock the full potential of waterborne transport.
