We achieve this by developing, maintaining, and managing the roads, while also enabling a sustainable, affordable, and reliable integrated public transport system that supports transit-oriented development. </p><p>This October, we are excited to host our annual Transport Month. The 2024 programme features insightful panel discussions and engaging roadshows throughout the city. We kick off Transport Month with two days of panel discussions at the Civic Centre Concourse Level, where you'll have the opportunity to engage with and learn from leading transport industry experts. </p> ​ <div class="responsive-media"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f8qY6w1EbAA" frameborder="0"></iframe>  <br></div><h2 class="sectHeading">Panel discussions<br></h2><p>The panel discussions will proceed as follows:</p><ul><li> <strong>Topic: </strong><strong>The Congestion Conundrum </strong></li><li> <strong>Date: </strong>Tuesday, 1 October 2024<br></li><li> <strong>Time: </strong>10:00 – 11:30 </li></ul><p> In light of the growing population, what is required to get Cape Town moving sustainably? The focus will be on addressing the challenges of urban congestion, particularly in light of the rapid population growth in Cape Town. With the city's population doubling in recent years, our existing road infrastructure is under immense pressure, and we are running out of space to build new roads. The panel will explore alternative innovative solutions to relieve congestion instead of resorting to demolition or widening roads. </p><ul><li> <strong>Topic:</strong><strong> Innovation in Construction</strong><br></li><li> <strong>Date: </strong>Wednesday, 2 October 2024</li><li> <strong>Time:</strong> 10:00 – 11:30 <br></li></ul><p>The focus will be on the latest innovations in transport infrastructure, with an emphasis on sustainable, efficient, and forward-thinking construction methods.
