E Climate and ERA: new opportunities for planning practice at local authority level?

Wednesday 10.00 – 11.15 am / Block D3

With the R2 publication ‘E Climate’, the German Road and Transport Research Association (FGSV) has set out the need to rethink German transport planning more clearly than ever before.
