Since its inception in 2011, the Leaders in Urban Transport Planning (LUTP) program has hosted 78 interactive training workshops worldwide, empowering more than 2,500 urban transport practitioners from 104 countries. Workshops focus on discussion, problem-solving, and experiential learning through case studies and group exercises as well as site visits. During workshops, participants from different cities and countries get to know each other, share their respective urban transport challenges, and find common ground in thinking through these challenges and potential solutions.
