This one-day conference and exhibition will explore the link between road maintenance and economic, environmental and social sustainability, focusing on the challenge for the highways maintenance industry to meet transportation, community and business needs and still improve the environment at a moment when major challenges such as climate change, urban congestion, traffic safety and increasing demand for passenger and freight transport are placing increasing demands on our road network. While other conferences debate the philosophy and definitions of sustainability, Sustainable Roads 2009 takes the approach that sustainability is now essential. Defining sustainability may seem like a philosophical game, but achieving it is an imperative.
