Change is a dominant characteristic of our age. New technologies are creating unthought-of possibilities; demographic changes are altering our global society; a changing economic balance redistributes global opportunity; emerging lifestyles create more diversity and climate change poses challenges to the fundament of our existence. These megatrends impact transport and mobility in ways that decision makers need to reflect today in order to shape responses that will remain valid in a rapidly changing world. Videos of the event are available online. A report of the highlights is available at http://www.internationaltransportforum.org/Pub/pdf/14Highlights.pdf

The theme of this conference reflects the changes taking place in recent years resulting in increased complexity in supply chains, due to, for example, the growth of outsourcing and offshoring and the movement of goods around the world. At the same time, macro-economic factors such as rising raw material and energy prices and the economic downturn have placed additional pressure on many supply chains. The combination of these factors means that, managers are faced with bringing resilience into their supply chains to address these issues of uncertainty and risk. These changes have big implications for logistics and supply chain planning, representing a dynamic and interesting area of research and practice for both academics and practitioners alike. With this in mind, the 18th ISL has assembled experts from around the globe to focus on how leading firms and academics are responding to these challenges and debate what this will mean for the future of global supply chain management. Papers in the proceedings represent the latest in academic thinking, as well as case examples of successful practices and innovative approaches to counter act the current uncertain environment.

Urban planners from the County Government of Nairobi and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have produced a new Master plan for Nairobi. Key among the challenges identified are uncontrolled urban development, insufficient infrastructure, transport problems and high demand for mid-low income housing. Inadequate coordination between relevant organizations was also identified on the institutional angle. The plan proposes an inclusive urban economy, effective and efficient transport systems, a healthy, thriving & green city, and pedestrian-friendly urban spaces for the Central Business District (CBD).
