Sorry if you have already seen this. Looks interesting because I believe
that Shanghai's experience is a particularly important example.

Subject: [cai-asia] Sustainable Multi-Modal Transportation for Chinese
Cities International Seminar - Shanghai, 20-21 October 2003

Sustainable Multi-Modal Transportation for Chinese Cities International
Seminar 

The objective of this conference is to review international urban
transportation plans and examine potential development models for
China's mega cities, specifically Shanghai.  The theme of the 2010 World
Expo in Shanghai is "Better City, Better Life." How to realize a
consumer-friendly green urban transportation system in time for the Expo
will be a key challenge for the future development of Shanghai. 

The rapid development of China's economy over the past decade has
created a development boom nationwide.  This boom represents an
opportunity to create a modern, effective multi-modal urban
transportation management system for Chinese cities, which are
characterized by high population density, low incomes and dense traffic.
China also needs to find a way to improve the quality of its urban air
substantially polluted by vehicle exhaust.
