This document discusses strategies for making cities more sustainable, productive, green and equitable. It argues that most urban growth is occurring in the global south, in cities like Kolkata, India, and that current development patterns risk locking cities into car-dependent and sprawling forms that hurt productivity, increase emissions and deepen inequality. However, compact and connected development centered around high-quality public transport can make cities more competitive, green and improve quality of life for all. The document calls for prioritizing such transformative solutions in cities to achieve climate goals and a more equitable urban future.

The document discusses sustainable mobility trends around the world and the need for a paradigm shift in transportation. It outlines strategies to avoid and shift trips to more efficient modes, improve technology and operations, but notes that not enough change is currently happening. It then provides examples of emerging trends that indicate movement towards more sustainable transportation systems, such as increased cycling and public transit ridership in some cities and new policies around congestion pricing, vehicle quotas, and low-emission zones.
Dario Hidalgo discussed air quality in Bogota, Colombia. While steady progress has been made, air quality has not yet reached World Health Organization standards. Keys to Bogota's progress include implementing a better transportation system rather than just focusing on air quality, having a plan but also taking action, and continuously measuring and managing air quality. Some measures that have helped reduce pollution include expanding public transit options like BRT, increasing bike lanes, controlling vehicle traffic, renewing the bus fleet, using cleaner diesel, and reducing the sulfur content in diesel. Continued implementation of strategies like completing the new integrated bus system and introducing more stringent vehicle emissions standards will help Bogota further improve its air quality.
On November 24, 2014, Claudia Adriazola-Steil, Director, Health and Road Safety at EMBARQ, presented at the Organization of American States on Road Safety and Urban Environment.

This document summarizes key points from two lightening talks about decarbonizing transport in Latin America. The first talk discusses how transit reforms aimed at promoting public transport in Latin American cities have often reduced transit ridership by 9-12% on average due to higher costs and lower frequency. The second talk examines ride-hailing apps and finds through simulations that they are very unlikely to reduce vehicle kilometers traveled and likely increase it by taking passengers from more sustainable modes. Both findings suggest the need to rethink current approaches to transport reforms and policies governing ride-hailing apps to better promote sustainability goals.

The document summarizes the issues with Bangalore's traffic and proposes solutions. It argues that [1] widening roads is not a long term solution as traffic will only continue to increase, [2] building metro rail is too expensive and will take 100 years to complete, and [3] the bus is the best solution to provide public transportation. Buses can carry many more people than individual vehicles and greatly reduce traffic, pollution, and infrastructure costs when widely adopted. The document advocates for increasing bus usage and non-motorized transportation like cycling to simplify commutes without harming the city.
Sustainable transportation involves evaluating three components: vehicles, energy sources, and infrastructure to meet mobility needs while minimizing environmental and social impacts. A sustainable system allows basic access needs to be met safely and equitably, operates efficiently through diverse affordable modes, limits emissions within planetary boundaries, and integrates transportation and land use planning. Achieving sustainability requires considering a variety of objectives like affordable options, efficient use of resources, compact development, and comprehensive, inclusive planning across sectors.
Rio de Janeiro has hosted several mega events like the Olympic Games which led the city to invest in mass transit infrastructure like BRT systems. Four BRT corridors were implemented called TransOeste, TransCarioca, TransOlímpica, and TransBrasil which increased public transport ridership from 18% to 63%. The BRT systems reduced travel times by up to 50% and CO2 emissions. Challenges remain to maintain high quality service and further encourage transit ridership through urban development near stations.
This document discusses sustainable transportation strategies for San Antonio, focusing on reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). It notes that VMT is a key measure of transportation sustainability, and that San Antonio has set goals to reduce daily per capita VMT. High VMT contributes to urban heat islands and greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation infrastructure like roads and parking lots covers a significant portion of urban land. Comparable cities that have reduced VMT the most have invested more in public transit and implemented smart growth policies. The document recommends San Antonio pursue strategies like expanding rail transit, reducing parking minimums, and evaluating new roads for their impact on VMT.
The document discusses sustainable low-carbon transport and mobilizing carbon resources for sustainable urban transport in Latin America. It summarizes the SLoCaT partnership, which has 53 member organizations working to improve knowledge and policies around sustainable transport. It also notes that while some progress has been made through projects like the CDM and GEF, existing climate instruments have had limited impact on the transport sector, reducing emissions by only 13.6-15.9 MtCO2-eq/yr. A study is examining recommendations for post-2012 mechanisms to better suit the transport sector.
The document discusses sustainable transportation and provides examples of its implementation.

Finally, it provides case studies of the Cross City Tunnel project in Sydney and the restoration of Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul.
Sustainable Transport Best Practices andBarry Wellar
The 2007 Fleming Lecture begins with a brief review of Canada’s progress in achieving core element standing for geographic factors in sustainable transport best practices. This part of the paper grounds sustainable transport in metropolitan regions, and then establishes the essential role of geographic factors in the sustainability of transport systems in Canada, and particularly in its metropolitan transportation systems. With that foundation in place, the paper then presents findings that reveal the extremely limited implementation of nine sustainable transport best practices in Canada’s metropolitan regions, and the consequent lack of regard for geographic factors in matters related to achieving sustainable transport practices.
This document discusses sustainable transport and the costs and benefits of different modes of transportation. It notes that sustainable transport requires energy sources that can be supplied indefinitely and evaluates sustainability based on the vehicles, energy sources, and infrastructure used. It states that transport accounts for 20-25% of energy consumption and carbon emissions globally. The social costs of transport include road accidents, pollution, physical inactivity, and traffic congestion. While public transport provides benefits like convenience and reducing emissions, it also has negatives like rising costs and delays. Research shows that expanding cycling infrastructure can increase ridership and benefits both drivers and cyclists by reducing traffic.
This document discusses agricultural growth corridors and their implications. It notes that urbanization and farm sizes are changing, presenting new research challenges. Corridors tend to exclude the poorest and deepen disparities, while governments invest in large-scale public-private partnerships to achieve development goals. The document outlines a workshop to discuss the implications of transformational change for the CGIAR's research strategies, targets, and metrics, given ambitious goals like those in the Malabo declaration.
This document provides information about sustainable transportation presented in an oral presentation. It begins by outlining how transportation is a major contributor to energy demand and emissions globally. It then defines sustainable transportation as transportation that limits social, environmental and climate impacts through its energy sources, technologies, and infrastructure. Key aspects of sustainable transportation discussed include climate resilience, low carbon growth, and access and mobility. Pillars of sustainable transportation are identified as environmental, social and economic. Strategies presented include new vehicle and fuel technologies, improved road operations, and demand management techniques. Barriers to sustainable transportation and future opportunities are also outlined. The presentation concludes with a case study of the sustainability efforts of shipping company Maersk Group to reduce emissions, enable trade,
Bangalore's traffic mess is caused by trying to widen roads endlessly to keep up with increasing vehicle numbers, which has failed worldwide. The solution is to move to sustainable transport by increasing public transport like commuter rail and buses, reducing private vehicles, and promoting cycling and walking. This could reduce vehicle numbers by 75%, commute times by 50%, pollution by 80%, and road spending by 90%, allowing more investment in essential services. While metro rail would take over 100 years, commuter rail could start in 1 year for a fraction of the cost and provide immediate benefits through a more sustainable transport system.
Shanghai has a large public transportation system that transports millions of people every day. The system includes 15 metro lines spanning 567 km and 331 stations, operated by Shanghai Metro Group. It also includes over 16,700 buses on 1,338 bus lines operated by two main bus companies, transporting 7.43 million passengers daily. Taxis, ferries, and other modes complete the network. The city government prioritizes and financially supports public transportation to control private vehicle use and encourage public transit as Shanghai's population grows.

[Urban transportation] city presentation thimpu(bhutan)shrdcinfo
Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, has experienced rapid population and vehicle growth that is straining its urban transportation system. The government is pursuing policies to promote more environmentally friendly and efficient transportation options. Currently, residents rely primarily on private vehicles, taxis, and city buses. However, the government is exploring alternatives like rail, ropeways, and water transport. Officials are also encouraging non-motorized transit by improving infrastructure for cycling and walking. Future strategies may include introducing electric trolley buses and taxis to reduce emissions.
City Speak XI - Is transport the solution or the enemy? Simon Ng of HKUSTDesigningHongKong
Development and transport are closely related, but how do we connect the dots and guarantee a livable city for future generations?
Lifting the moratorium in Mid-levels, reducing the threshold for redevelopment and the constant pressure to increase density are all choking the older parts of Hong Kong with more traffic and roadside air pollution.
How do we deal with the increased traffic on new roads to the Mainland? How many more roads are we planning to build on our waterfront? Is there too much public transport clogging up our roads? Is replacing pedestrian crossings with subways and footbridges a good thing?
What plans are there for environmentally friendly transport and aesthetically more pleasing transport infrastructure in Hong Kong? Where are the hopes for making our city more pedestrian-friendly? Can new engine technology solve our problems? Could electronic road pricing help? Will the new rail lines be enough? Do we have a sustainable (transport) plan for our city?
Planners, engineers, academics and officials will discuss whether transport is our solution or our enemy.

Chandler Asset Management Corona Presentation City of Corona
Chandler Asset Management provides an account profile and investment performance update to the City of Corona. The document defines supranational entities as international institutions that provide financing and services to member countries to promote economic development. It lists the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, International Finance Corporation, and Inter-American Development Bank as examples. Finally, it outlines a new California law allowing local agencies to invest up to 30% of their portfolio in highly-rated supranational bonds to diversify their portfolio and gain higher yields than similar US Treasuries.
The document discusses the timeline and details of the Dos Lagos development agreement and its extensions. The original development agreement from 2001 had an 11-year term expiring in 2012. After the master developer defaulted in 2010, the bank was granted a 4-year extension until 2016. A second 4-year extension was approved until 2020. The development agreement required infrastructure construction and participation in off-site costs, capping development impact fees at 2000 levels.
Lagos BRT-Lite is a Bus Rapid Transit system opened in Lagos, Nigeria in 2008. It is a reduced version of a full BRT system, implemented quickly to demonstrate the BRT concept. The 22km route has majority segregated lanes and carries over 195,000 passengers daily, providing time savings of up to 25 minutes compared to alternatives. Its success is attributed to strong political support, the transport authority LAMATA's capabilities, a design focused on users and deliverability, and stakeholder engagement. Next steps include expanding the BRT network and integrating other transport systems.
After World War II ended in 1945, Japan made a new start toward economic reconstruction as a democratic and pacifist state. Thanks to its highly educated and abundant labor force and to the concentration of capital and resources in certain key industries, such as electric power and steel, Japan succeeded in recovering from the ruins of war and achieving industrialization during the 1950s and 1960s.
The document summarizes the transformation of Japan from the Tokugawa Shogunate to the Meiji Restoration. The Tokugawa Shogunate ruled from the 12th to 19th century and isolated Japan. However, economic crises and foreign pressure weakened the Shogunate. This led to its collapse and the restoration of imperial rule under Emperor Mutsuhito in 1868, beginning the Meiji era. The new Meiji government implemented extensive political, economic, and social reforms to modernize and strengthen Japan, including developing industry and military capabilities. This allowed Japan to rapidly become a world power that could defeat China and Russia militarily by the early 20th century.
This document discusses developing supporting ecosystems to improve city bus services.

The document summarizes the aims and policies of the UK's 1998 Transport White Paper. It aimed to reduce CO2 emissions from transport by encouraging alternatives to car usage and more sustainable options. Key targets included reducing emissions 12.5% by 2008-2012 and CO2 from new cars to 120g/km by 2010. While not all targets were fully met, emissions have decreased 24% since 1990 due largely to the White Paper and subsequent EU regulations. The White Paper helped establish the UK's focus on more environmentally friendly transportation.
The document discusses the need for a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that focuses on sustainable transport. It outlines six key tasks: 1) Implementing ambitious policies to reverse the growth of transport carbon emissions. 2) Aligning COVID recovery packages to revive economies, combat climate change, and strengthen equity. 3) Shifting priority to improving accessibility over mobility. 4) Targeting different transport sectors' decarbonization potential. 5) Supporting innovation to accelerate needed technological breakthroughs. 6) Intensifying collaboration between public and private sectors and across industries. The potential of new mobility solutions and the challenges of coordination, infrastructure changes, and cybersecurity are also addressed.
This document summarizes the key points from a presentation on transport and climate change given at the EcoMobility World Festival. It discusses how transport sector emissions are projected to increase significantly by 2050 according to current trajectories and the need for the sector to reduce emissions by 40% from 2015 levels to be aligned with a 2-degree climate scenario. It also summarizes strategies and commitments countries and cities have made regarding sustainable transport and emissions reductions in their climate pledges and action plans, including increasing public transport, electrification, and promoting shifts to modes like biking and walking. The document concludes with recommendations that COP21 and subsequent climate agreements focus on supporting urban transport mitigation efforts through financing, technology transfer, and leveraging existing
This document summarizes the work of EMBARQ, a nonprofit organization focused on sustainable transport. It discusses how EMBARQ works with cities around the world to implement policies and projects that encourage non-motorized transport, high-quality bus systems, and transit-oriented development to reduce congestion, pollution, and infrastructure costs. The document outlines EMBARQ's projects in cities from Mexico City and Sao Paulo to Istanbul and Delhi and its partnerships with organizations to advance sustainable transport solutions globally.
The document discusses sustainable urban transport and improving quality of life in cities. It notes that rapid motorization has negatively impacted cities economically, environmentally, and socially. The main problems are listed as energy consumption, emissions, safety issues, congestion, and social exclusion. Solutions proposed include improving transport efficiency, shifting modes to public transit and non-motorized options like walking and cycling, and reducing or avoiding travel. Examples given of successful cities emphasize high quality public transit integrated with land use planning and policies supporting alternatives to private vehicles.

The document discusses opportunities and challenges for sustainable transport in Bogota, Colombia. It outlines Bogota's growing population and plans to expand its integrated public transport system, including a metro system. The projects aim to reduce emissions through more efficient transport networks and replacing older buses. Clean technology funds could help finance the projects and make Bogota's transport system a model for low-carbon development.
Low-carbon transport measures like improving public transit, shifting trips to more efficient modes, and advancing vehicle technologies can reduce transport energy use by 40-50% according to the IEA. An integrated approach to avoiding, shifting, and improving transport generates synergies between climate change mitigation and sustainable development through benefits like improved access, air quality, and economic savings. Case studies demonstrate how policies supporting public transit, biking, congestion pricing, and efficient vehicles in cities like Bogota and Singapore achieved emissions reductions while enhancing livability.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Yusuf Arsiwala of RootBridge C O L L A B on restoring water-related eco-systems in Delhi.

This document discusses strategies for Hyderabad, India to transform into a global city through sustainable water management. It outlines three key points:
1. Hyderabad has potential to become a global city by balancing urban growth with green/blue environments, but sustainable water resource management is needed.
2. Concepts like circular economy and "sponge cities" that capture excess runoff can help minimize water risks, carbon footprint, and capture resources like methane from waste.
3. Suggestions for action include leveraging technology for digital water management, incentivizing innovations through public-private partnerships and financing, and building stakeholder engagement for quality of life goals.
The Hyderabad Golf Association faced a shortage of 2 million liters per day (MLD) of quality irrigation water. Additionally, the government mandated improving the quality of surface ponds near the golf course that were polluted with untreated sewage. The Natural Biological System was implemented as a case study to address both issues. It treats 3 MLD of sewage on-site without energy and produces tertiary quality water for irrigation, rejuvenating the ponds. Water quality tests showed significant reductions in parameters like COD, BOD, and fecal coliform after treatment. The system provides a green, aesthetic and cost-effective solution to water and wastewater challenges.
This document discusses five theories of urban water restoration: 1) Consider the full watershed, 2) Ensure water quality by managing the catchment area, 3) Find beneficial uses for all water, 4) Take a holistic planning approach that generates economic and social benefits, and 5) Aim for vibrant, living water bodies rather than sterile infrastructure. Case studies from India are presented for each theory. The document advocates comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement to successfully restore urban blue spaces.
This document provides context and proposes solutions for developing sustainable townships and campuses in the future.

Short, medium, and long-term actions are suggested to accelerate clean energy adoption, sustainable water management, and improved mobility. The document aims to start a discussion around developing integrated roadmaps and policies to guide more sustainable development.
The document discusses water supply challenges facing Bengaluru, India. It notes that while basic water supply is available, the city faces key stresses including depletion of surface water sources, loss of tree cover impacting water availability, multiple drought years reducing reservoir levels, severe groundwater depletion, and reduction in open spaces and water bodies. Without action, the growing population will outpace existing water supply plans, risking a "Day Zero" water crisis.
This document summarizes a report on the pedestrianization project of the Historic Peninsula in Istanbul. It provides details on the project scope, implementation process, and economic impacts. The project pedestrianized over 295 streets between 2010-2013. It describes the costs and stakeholders involved for different sub-regions. Initially, local businesses worried that pedestrianization would negatively impact their revenues, but surveys later found that 49% of pedestrianized areas experienced increased retail turnover. The project improved the built environment and quality of life in the historic area.
The Green Corridor TOD project in Cali, Colombia aims to redevelop the abandoned railway line into a light rail transit system and densify the surrounding areas. The project would create 22 km of bike and pedestrian paths, improve intermodality, and generate new public spaces. Studies have assessed the feasibility of different transit technologies, developed a business model framework, and identified opportunities for land value capture. Funding from the NAMA Facility was secured to pilot priority interventions along the corridor in line with transit-oriented development and greenhouse gas mitigation principles. A recent study identified property tax, special assessments, and urban planning tools as potential land value capture instruments for the project under Colombian law.
This document discusses land value capture in Brazil, including air rights sales, CEPACs in São Paulo, and case studies of OUC Água Espraiada and Belo Horizonte. It notes that air rights can be sold based on basic floor area ratio (FAR) or additional FAR allowed. CEPACs in São Paulo were used to determine where and how to invest proceeds. The case studies achieved significant funds for infrastructure from LVC: OUC Água Espraiada generated $800 million and Belo Horizonte generated $115 million from LVC. The document concludes with lessons around clearly defining the purpose of LVC instruments and linking LVC goals to broader urban sustainability goals.
The document discusses Sistemas de Actuación por Cooperación (SAC) in Mexico City. SACs are planning tools that seek to coordinate public, private, and social sectors to implement strategic urban projects that benefit communities.

The document discusses the Global Covenant of Mayors approach to climate action planning for cities. It provides information on the following key points in 3 sentences or less:
- The Global Covenant of Mayors has over 7,500 member cities from 120 countries representing over 680 million people committed to climate action.
- Cities that join the Global Covenant commit to completing an emissions inventory, setting an emissions reduction target, and creating a climate action plan to meet that target.
- The document provides guidance on conducting emissions inventories, setting targets, developing mitigation and adaptation plans, and examples of policies and projects cities have implemented through the Global Covenant of Mayors.
The document summarizes the goals and results of the GHG Platform India initiative. It aims to track India's GHG emissions, inform policymaking, and identify mitigation opportunities. Phase I estimated national emissions from 2007-2012. Phase II estimated national emissions from 2005-2013 and state-level emissions from 2005-2013. It found that India's emissions grew at 5.74% annually, with the energy sector as the largest contributor. Emissions intensity declined by around 12-14% from 2005-2013.
Shwetal Shah presented on key points of the Paris Agreement and India's Nationally Determined Contributions. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global temperature rise well below 2°C through country commitments to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy. India's NDCs include reducing emissions intensity by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030, achieving 40% electricity from non-fossil fuel sources, and creating a carbon sink of 2.5-3 billion tons through additional forestry and tree cover. The Climate Change Department of Gujarat coordinates policy and encourages green technology to build a sustainable, climate-resilient future for the state.
The document discusses barriers to adopting electric bus fleets globally and innovations that can help overcome these barriers. It notes that while electric buses have higher upfront costs, they are already cost competitive over the lifetime when maintenance is considered. Many cities around the world have started implementing electric buses through different models involving new stakeholders, procurement changes, technological advances, and public sector support. Overall the document argues that barriers exist but innovations are emerging that can help accelerate the transition to electric buses globally.
The document discusses key barriers to electric vehicle deployment in India and programs that Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) is undertaking to address these barriers. The major barriers include high upfront costs of electric vehicles compared to diesel, pricing risks due to evolving battery technologies, lack of long term financing for batteries, lack of credit for smaller electric vehicles, need for charging infrastructure development, and lack of institutional capacity. CPI's programs seek to address these through initiatives like battery service agreements, long term debt facilities for batteries, financing for auto rickshaws, pay-as-you-save models, and project preparation facilities to connect cities and investors.
