Medelìn, La Paz, New York... Urban cable cars have won over municipalities across the Atlantic: connecting previously isolated neighbourhoods, easing congestion, and offering an economical, environmentally friendly solution, they appear to have many advantages. Closer to home, Brest was the first French city to install an urban cable car system. Then, last summer, Toulouse put France’s longest cable car into service...

Why has this public transport solution appealed to cities with such varied characteristics? What urban planning challenges can cable cars address?

Urban cable cars: a solution for tomorrow?

• David Aubonnet, Chair of the UTI section (urban, tourism and industrial cable transport operators) of the French national cable car association

• Fabien Felli, CEO of Poma
