?? How can we transform our cities to make them healthier and more livable for future generations? Our 2010 publication "Challenges of Urban Transport in Developing Countries" highlights solutions that are still relevant today. Urban transport systems in developing countries face traffic jams, pollution, and long commutes, but with targeted strategies, there is great potential for improvement! ?? This includes enhancing public transport systems like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), expanding spaces for walking and cycling, and investing in public transit to reduce traffic, improve safety, and foster more sustainable urban environments. ???? Why is this important for cities? Sustainable transport not only reduces congestion and improves air quality, but also promotes economic growth and social inclusion by providing better access to jobs and essential services for all citizens. ????♀? Driving these solutions forward Achieving these outcomes?requires?strong political will, long-term strategic planning, and collaboration between the public and private sectors. Adequate funding, infrastructure investments, and policy reforms are also critical to building sustainable, resilient urban transport systems. Want to learn more?

Did you know? Ambitious low-carbon transport measures could save trillions of life years and cut healthcare costs by hundreds of billions annually! Yet, health is rarely considered in transport policy making. The ITF - International Transport Forum Corporate Partnership Board's newly launched report, “Health Impacts of Low-carbon Transport in Cities: Evidence for Better Policies”, promotes a transition to low-carbon mobility that prioritises environmental goals and human well-being. By evaluating low-carbon policy scenarios, the report offers evidence-based recommendations for policy makers to integrate health into transport and urban planning. ?? Key insights include: - Integrating health outcomes into urban planning to create liveable cities. - Investing in active and public transport infrastructure to improve health and reduce emissions. - Adopting equitable urban development approaches to ensure inclusivity. - Strengthening cross-sector collaboration to address health and transport challenges. - Building capacity in public authorities for evidence-based decision-making.

????♂? Urban Mobility in the United States: A Path to a Greener Future ?? As we navigate the complexities of urban life, it’s becoming increasingly evident that the future of transport has to be smarter, greener, and more inclusive. Urban mobility isn’t just about getting from point A to point B; it's about creating sustainable environments, improving quality of life, and fostering economic growth. Right now, we're witnessing an exciting shift in the way cities approach transportation. From bike-sharing programs to electric buses and advanced public transit systems, urban mobility initiatives are taking center stage. These efforts not only reduce carbon footprints but also help alleviate traffic congestion and promote healthier lifestyles. ?? According to recent studies, cities investing in sustainable urban mobility are seeing significant returns in terms of economic development and community well-being. The benefits range from reduced pollution and lower healthcare costs to increased tourism and vibrant local economies. Yet, challenges remain. Infrastructure development, funding, and policy changes require collaboration across all sectors—public, private, and civil society. It's crucial that we continue to innovate and support policies that prioritize green transportation solutions. ?? Let's celebrate the progress made and remain committed to pushing forward. Together, we can transform our urban spaces into hubs of sustainable mobility. #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport #GreenCities #FutureOfTransportation #UrbanDevelopment

?? ?? The Netherlands is leading the charge in urban sustainability. As of January 1st, 14 Dutch cities have implemented zero-emission zones for urban freight, with more to follow. This move aims to decarbonise logistics and reduce CO2 emissions in city centres. Key points: ?? Commercial vehicles must be zero-emission to enter these zones ?? 30-40 medium-sized zones planned nationwide by 2025 ??? 5-year transition period to phase out polluting vehicles ?? Cargo bikes gaining importance for last-mile deliveries This initiative showcases the Dutch commitment to sustainable urban planning. It's a win-win for businesses and cities, promoting cleaner air and more efficient logistics. What can other countries learn from this approach?

What is Urban Sustainability? Urban sustainability is the practice of creating cities that balance economic growth, environmental health, and social equity. With rapid urbanization, cities are now home to over half of the global population, making it essential to find solutions that ensure long-term well-being for both people and the planet. Urban sustainability focuses on efficient resource use, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting green infrastructure, like public parks and renewable energy systems. Cities striving for sustainability also prioritize waste management, water conservation, and transportation systems that minimize pollution, such as cycling lanes and electric vehicles. At its core, urban sustainability is about resilience. It addresses challenges like climate change and population growth by designing cities that can adapt and thrive. This includes incorporating green building techniques, urban farming, and fostering strong community involvement in sustainability initiatives.
