Sustainable mobility policies for lima by jessica tantaleanESTHHUB
This inception report outlines sustainable mobility policies and initiatives in Lima, Peru. It notes that Lima faces major mobility problems due to its large population and urban sprawl. While efforts have been made to improve public transit, more work is needed to establish sustainable transport policies. The report discusses the Non-Motorized Transport Special Program (TNM-MML), which promotes cycling infrastructure, education programs, and cultural events to encourage alternative transportation and a new mobility vision. The success of TNM-MML suggests that technical expertise combined with political will can help shift Lima toward more sustainable mobility.
Urbanization is increasing as more people live in cities which consume large amounts of resources. New mobility concepts are needed to address issues like congestion and unused vehicle capacity. Advanced journey planners can help optimize travel by integrating multiple transportation options and using real-time data, predictive algorithms, and user preferences to recommend customized itineraries. This enables a shift to Mobility as a Service (MaaS) through bundled transportation packages tailored to user needs.
This document summarizes Bernardo Baranda's presentation on pedestrian and cyclist road safety strategies. It discusses the Ciclociudades manual published in Mexico to provide guidance on cycling mobility policies and infrastructure. It also highlights workshops conducted in Mexico and Latin America, as well as a ranking system to evaluate cities' bicycle policies. Metrics such as cyclist counts in Mexico City increased after implementing bike lanes and a public bike system.
The document summarizes the 3rd annual CONNECTKaro conference held in New Delhi from April 15-16, 2015 on the topic of smart cities for sustainable development. It features brief biographies of various speakers at the event including government officials from India and other countries, as well as leaders working in areas of transportation, urban development, housing, and sustainability initiatives. The conference aimed to discuss best practices and reforms for improving quality of life in cities.
This document analyzes urban governance challenges in Lagos, Nigeria through a case study. It identifies several issues facing Lagos due to rapid population growth and rural-urban migration, such as overcrowded shanty towns, traffic, poor zoning laws, and pollution. To address these problems, Lagos has reclaimed land from a former beach to build a new financial district called Eko Atlantic. However, the document argues that Eko Atlantic alone is not enough and long-term solutions require decentralized development, modern city planning, proper zoning laws, environmental regulations, and participatory governance across Nigeria.

The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) is a nonprofit organization that researches and promotes sustainable solutions to urban problems. CNT was founded in 1978 in Chicago and works on issues like transportation, water management, and climate change. Two of CNT's major current projects are Transit Future, which aims to expand and improve Chicago's public transit system, and RainReady, which helps communities manage stormwater. However, both projects need further funding to be fully realized. CNT is advocating for policy changes and new funding streams at the local, state, and federal levels to support these initiatives and fulfill its mission of improving urban environments.

argumentative essay on the issue of the government's transport modernization ...CCSSenatorAbogadoAj
The document discusses the issue of the Philippines government's transport modernization program. It presents arguments both for and against the program. It argues that while the program may improve transportation infrastructure and reduce pollution, it could negatively impact the livelihoods of thousands of public transportation drivers and operators by replacing jeepneys with more modern vehicles. Many drivers would lose their primary source of income under such a program. It concludes that while modernization is important, the government must also consider how it will affect marginalized groups and ensure affordable transportation options remain available.
The document summarizes an inception meeting held by the Ateneo School of Government and Rockefeller Foundation to launch a project on catalyzing new mobility in Metro Manila. Key points from presentations include: (1) Metro Manila has experienced rapid urbanization that has led to problems like traffic and informal settlements; (2) Cities are economic engines and attract people seeking opportunities, yet Metro Manila's pedestrians are not prioritized; (3) The meeting brought together stakeholders to discuss research on Metro Manila's transport system and impacts on the poor.

ABSTRACT
In order to study innovations of governance in cities and urban regions we have chosen
to do research on smart cities and policies in a comparative perspective. This research
is an exploratory comparative study of cities emphasizing different ways to address the
definition and implementation of the smart concept. We analyze and compare cases from China, Japan, Malaysia, Spain and United States to find out differences and
commonalities in smart city governance and public policies. Based on these cases, we
also draw tentative conclusions for governance and public urban planning in the areas
and management and organization, technology, policy context, people and communities,
economy, built in infrastructure and natural environment.

The document discusses a project called MetrX that aims to incentivize the use of public transportation in Paris. MetrX will be an app with a rewards system for public transportation users in Ile-de-France. The app will give points to users based on the distance traveled by public transportation that can be redeemed for discounts on retail items or donated to environmental organizations. The goal is to help Paris achieve its vision of a more car-free society and reduce issues like air pollution, traffic, and related health problems.
This document discusses sustainable urban planning with a focus on the cities of Curitiba, Brazil and Adelaide, Australia. It defines sustainable cities and explores how Curitiba implemented sustainable development through policies like organized transportation networks and zoning laws. While Curitiba is held up as a model, it still faces issues like poverty and lack of public participation. Adelaide also pursues sustainability through practices such as renewable energy, community gardens, and preserving green spaces. Both cities provide examples of sustainable urbanization, though each city faces its own ongoing challenges.
Foreign Policy for an Urban World: Global Governance and the Rise of Citiesatlanticcouncil
In the latest FutureScape issue brief from the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security's Strategic Foresight Initiative, author Peter Engelke discusses the long-term economic, environmental, and policy implications of urbanization. Entitled "Foreign Policy for an Urban World: Global Governance and the Rise of Cities," the brief examines how urbanization is hastening the global diffusion of power and how cities themselves are increasingly important nodes of power in global politics.
Many cities are attempting to reduce congestion through innovative transport policies and projects. This report explores the challenges city leaders face in choosing the right combination of solutions to address their short- and long-term urban mobility challenges. It aims to provide direction on how city leaders can navigate through these challenges and how they can work together with community groups and the private sector to transform their cities for the future.
Sustainable Development in Bogota and Parisntorjuela
This document compares the lifestyles and sustainable development practices of Bogota, Colombia and Paris, France. It discusses the three pillars of sustainable development - balanced economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection - in each city. While Bogota still has progress to make, it has embraced concepts like sustainable tourism. Paris residents recycle more but cars remain dominant for transportation. The document proposes actions for both cities to improve such as increasing public transit, educating citizens, and incentivizing sustainable behaviors. In conclusion, while no city is perfect, each can learn from the other's approaches to advancing sustainability.
Future of cities An initial perspective by Harry Rich Chief Executive RIBAFuture Agenda
Mass urbanization is creating challenges for city planning and design. By 2050, over 70% of the global population will live in cities. Rapid urbanization is straining city infrastructure and economies. New approaches using technology can help cities become more sustainable and address issues like congestion, pollution, and an aging population. Digital tools allow for improved data collection, public engagement, and strategic planning to help cities adapt to changes and future challenges.
The purpose of this report is to take 50 of the world’s most prominent cities and look at how viable they are as places to live, their environmental impact, their financial stability, and how these elements complement one another.
All 50 of these brilliantly different cities are in various stages of evolution – some being further along the sustainability journey than others. Each possesses its own geolocation and cultural distinctions but shares common urban challenges in the areas of job creation, mobility, resiliency and improving the quality of life of its residents.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

ONE OF THE
CYCLIST-FRIENDLY
CITIES
A case study of public governance driven by citizens and government
with collaborative planning, in order to become cycling city.

2. Santiago has one of the successful Sustainable Transport
Santiago has been recognized as one of the world’s most successful cities for urban transformation. Recently, this city has
been awarded “the honor of hosting Mobilize 2017”,”by the New York-based multinational Institute for Transportation and
Development Policy”(ENS 2016). As European nations, cycling culture has been Beginning to take root in this city.
3. Santiago – the largest and capital city of Chile
Santiago is located in the country's central valley at an elevation of 520 metre, and the cultural, political and economical center
of Chile and the local headquarters of many multinational corporations are gathered in this city (Wikipedia, 2015). The
population is about 7 million people.
4. Urban problems (1) – traffic congestion
As other urban cities faced similar problems, traffic congestion has been one of the problems in Santiago. The economy grow
lager, the number of car owners are increasing larger. It caused traffic congestion to be heavier and parking to become harder
(The Guardian, 2016).
5. Urban problems (2) – air pollution
Since the location is special where the city is located between the Andes and Chilean Coast Range. It causes the air to become
trapped in the city easily. Airflow is generally stagnant. This means not to circulate and sweep the congested air from the city.
Therefore, residents required sever emission standard for clean air (InsightSur, 2012).
6. Urban problems (3) – slums
According to the national survey, 14.4 % of Chileans are recognized poor and 4.5 % residents are in extreme poverty in 2015.
Moreover, the aggregation of place which the poor live in had been fixed due to military regime (Sagaris, 2015). The poor had
been excluded from the decision making process of urban planning.
7. E
Who leads this movement?
‘Living City (Ciudad Viva)’ is grass-roots NGO which was founded through the confliction between citizens and the authority.
This group has taken a key role to maximize public welfare for the residents in Santiago. Their involvement of any project from
the start with public, citizen and private spheres brought about simplifying public policy processes throughout the planning
implementation and evaluation phases (Sagaris, 2015).
8. Any Supporters ?
CicloRecreoVía (NGO) has host vehicle-free streets on bikes, skateboards, rollerskates or simply on foot on Sunday mornings,
where cars are prohibited from 40 kilometres of roads. Around 30,000 people enjoy the vehicle-free streets (The Guardian,
2016). These activities leaded by NGOs contribute to good image of cycling.
9. As a facilitator and enabler, the government go ahead with planning with several engineers, NGOs, citizens and private sectors
for a cyclist-friendly society. Above cycle path project is known as Mapocho 42K which is a mammoth 42 kilometer-long, 3.4
meter-wide cycle route along the River Mapocho. This route links no less than eight of the city’s neighborhoods (Mapocho42k,
n.d.).
What is the role of government?
10. Is there no issues in Santiago?
Because of imperfect cycling infrastructure, there are problems between pedestrians and cyclists, or cyclists and motorists.
There’s little respect for the cyclist in Santiago compared with European countries such as Germany or Holland. Several NGOs
have been handling with this problems for a better future (Institute for Transportation & Development Policy, 2016).
11. How can other cities follow this?
In Santiago case, ‘Living City’ has been successfully representing opinions of dwellers and a wide range of experts, and has
relationships with other organizations. As a result, they are able to pursue maximization for a social welfare. Thus, establishing
good governance, democratizing planning processes is as important as to achieving sustainable transportation for every cities.
