Speakers from Montpellier, Birmingham and Madrid presented the corresponding mobility plans. All members of the TUL Commission agreed that urban planning and public transport need to be integrated into an overall mobility planning for the functional city. The members decided to draft a Focus Paper for the next UITP Policy Board meeting on 25 October, the final version will be published at the 60th UITP World Congress (26-30 May 2013) in Geneva.
