    The goal of this section of the site is to provide direct links to high quality documents and sources of practical information covering each of the main areas of sharing targeted by the conference. Teh specific goal is to provide, in advance, concise background reading for those wishing to participate in and fully profit from the Kaohsiung conference.

    The intention is to serve people and groups specifically concerned to find out what it takes to make a specific kind of project or approach work in their city or community. It aims to serve both groups wishing to create a new sharing mode, in both public and private sectors, as well as administrators and others concerned with ensuring the success of these initiatives and their integratino into the overall transport straeegy and strucuture of services.

    In principle, we intend to present no more than a handful of sources for each category - quality and practical usefulness and not quantity being the guides. We also intend to provide a few good videos or films that can be useful in each case.

    Here are the areas that we are looking at with our international collaborators in order to nail down the specific references in each case.
