AMONG the activities to celebrate UITP’s 125th Anniversary next year, we are pleased to present on our website an overview of the association’s history alongside major historical events and scientific advances of the times.
Selecting items is always, of course, a subjective activity and our aim is not to be exhaustive but to give you a quick and pleasant overview of our association’s life.
 

Every month, a 10-year period of history will be scanned and presented in three areas:

• ‘On the world scene’ describing major events in world history and scientific progress
• ‘Highlights in transport’ describing key innovations or developments in the transport world
• ‘UITP highlights’ describing the life of our association

We hope you will enjoy this travel through history that you can also find in the section ‘Once upon a time’ in PTI magazine.
Save the date and join us in Brussels, Belgium, on 19 September 2010 for a special anniversary event including an academic session with high-level political speakers, a parade of old trams and buses in the heart of the city, and a reception in an exceptional venue.
