- New Index ranks Singapore, Amsterdam, London, Shanghai, and New
York as the top five cities
- Asian cities dominate the top 10 – occupying five of the top
spots
- Global cities in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Latin
America, Middle East and Africa ranked on mobility ecosystem
development
Singapore tops Oliver Wyman Forum’s inaugural Urban Mobility
Readiness Index: How Cities Rank on Mobility Ecosystem Development.
The index ranks 30 cities on how prepared they are to incorporate
the latest mobility technologies and what they are doing to reshape
urban mobility. The top five cities are Singapore, Amsterdam,
London, Shanghai, and New York.
“Cities destined to become tomorrow’s mobility leaders are
forward-thinking and user-centric,” said Guillaume Thibault, an
Oliver Wyman partner and one of the creators of the new index.
“They take a data-driven approach and work with the private sector
to find solutions.” The research was conducted with The Institute
of Transportation Studies at the University of California,
Berkeley.
The index analyzes existing public and private mobility
networks; current regulation, policy, and infrastructure; a city’s
livability; and its capacity to absorb future technologies. While
the index attempts to rank the outlooks for various cities, the
research also provides best practices and concrete strategies that
will allow cities to upgrade their offerings with a goal of
transforming urban mobility from a challenge into a competitive
economic advantage.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to urban
mobility because no two cities are starting from the same point.
For example, cities around the world operate at vastly different
stages of development when it comes to mobility. In Los Angeles, 89
percent of travel involves a car, while in Hong Kong only seven
percent does. In Amsterdam, 60 percent of people get around by
cycling or walking; in Mexico City, 70 percent take mass
transit.
Key to success for cities is a focus on the development of
mobility ecosystems that provide a holistic framework to
incorporate advanced technologies and create seamless, multimodal
networks. Another pivotal element for cities is working closely
with academic and private sector mobility research efforts and
testing the latest technologies.
Why Singapore is on Top
Singapore ranks number one in the index because it recognizes
the importance of building ecosystems, private sector and research
partnerships, and infrastructure investment. It has been a pioneer
in reducing traffic congestion through various initiatives and has
adopted an aggressive approach to integrating cutting-edge
technology with progressive transportation policies. The region is
leading the way in the latest mobility tools, platforms and
services, as well as autonomous driving and real-time, digitized
traffic management.
While most of the top 10 represent sprawling metropolitan areas,
Amsterdam, the index runner-up, stands in stark contrast, because
of its relative compact size and population. Like many other
top-scoring cities, it is known for its robust infrastructure,
extensive public transportation system, and efforts to downplay the
automobile as a transport mode. In recent years, it has adopted
policies to foster electric and autonomous vehicles, increase the
number of charging stations, and encourage alternate modes of
transportation, particularly bicycles. The city has attracted
considerable private investment which is helping it with a
large-scale smart city initiative as well as the development of a
domestic mobility industry.
Additional key findings:
- The top five cities all have legacy infrastructure such as
public transit systems, a history of sustained investment, rapid
technology adoption, an engaged private sector including innovative
startups, and forward-looking policies that aim for growth.
- Five of the top 10 cities are in Asia including Singapore,
Shanghai, Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul.
- The average index score is 51 out of 100 across all 30
cities.
- Seventeen of the cities scored above average: six are in
Europe, six in Asia Pacific, four in the US and Canada, and one in
the Middle East.
“Municipal governments see the need to become increasingly
proactive and agile in the evolving mobility landscape. Cities see
the benefits of re-focusing on the basics of public transportation
and infrastructure development in order to lead in the next
generation of mobility,” said Professor Alexandre Bayen, director
of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of
California, Berkeley. “Cities who embrace technology and have
proactive regulation will become leaders in the mobility
revolution.”
The index was launched today at the inaugural Global Mobility
Executive Forum event in Paris, which featured two days of
discussions among leaders from industry, technology, academia,
finance, and non-governmental organizations worldwide on ways to
address the complex challenges posed by the global mobility
revolution. Several upcoming Executive Forums on mobility are
planned. For additional details, please click here.
About the Index
Oliver Wyman Forum selected an initial set of 30 global cities
for in-depth analysis across five categories: social impact,
livability, system efficiency, innovation, and market
attractiveness. The research is being conducted with the Institute
of Transportation Studies (ITS) at the University of California,
Berkeley.
About Berkeley ITS
The Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of
California Berkeley was created in 1947 by the State of California
to support research efforts related to future mobility. It is an
organized research unit on campus, comprising 7 research centers, a
start-up accelerator program, a technology transfer program, a
library and testing facilities for automated vehicles. It employs
over 200 faculty, researchers and technical staff, focused around
verticals of mobility, which include digitalization, automation,
electrification, the shared economy, policy, planning and
finance.
