They said it was a remarkable achievement, considering that Dubai had not been exposed to the SARS outbreak like Taiwan and Singapore.

Attendees included John Roth, president and managing director of GM Africa and the Middle East; Laurence Batlle, president of RATP Dev Executive Board; Ralph Barron, ADL Partner; Jerome Glenn, Futurist and CEO of the Millennium Project; Prof. Peter Jones, Professor of Transport and Sustainable Development, University College London (UCL); Colonel Mohammed Ali Karam, Director of Traffic Technologies Dubai Police; and Abdulla Al Madani.
