Professor Hermann Knoflacher obtained his doctorate in Technical Science from the Technical University of Vienna.  Currently he is University Professor and Head of the Institute for Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering, University of Technology Vienna (TU Wien).  He has been Head of the Institute for Transport, Austrian Road Safety Board.  His main research focus includes design of transport elements; transport system user behaviour; traffic-infrastructure and mobility; sustainable development of cities and mobility; traffic safety; energy-consumption; environment; basic interdisciplinary research.  He has published 5 books and more than 400 scientific papers.

In the era of global warming, the number of people in the world is increasing year by year. In the future, the population of the world will grow exponentially. The urban transport system is the most important part of urban planning. The transport system for cities in the age of global climate change must serve a dense city with at least 150 to 300 people per hectare. The rural landscape and the healthy of the rural landscape are therefore crucial elements for the city in this era. The wisdom of local engineers has created excellent solutions for the protection of transport system users in the past. If we are able to use the energy of sun to make electricity on the roofs of the Chandni Chowk City City we will create a sustainable urban structure.
