17th Urban Mobility India Research Symposium

The 17th Urban Mobility India Research Symposium, held in Bhubaneswar, India, is an established national and international forum examining the complex challenges of mobility, transportation planning, and urban infrastructure in rapidly growing Indian cities. Now in its seventeenth edition, the symposium brings together transportation engineers, urban planners, policymakers, and social scientists to address topics ranging from public transit systems and non-motorized transport to electric vehicle adoption, traffic management, and sustainable freight logistics. Bhubaneswar, one of India's smart city mission cities, serves as a fitting host for discussions on data-driven urban transport planning, multimodal integration, and the future of mobility in the world's most populous nation.
