Crisis Management in Urban Transport Systems

Urban transport systems face unprecedented challenges from overlapping crises-ranging from pandemics and energy price shocks to extreme weather and cyber-attacks-threatening mobility, supply chains, and essential services.

To ensure resilience and continuity, cities must reduce fossil fuel dependency, invest in sustainable modes like walking and cycling, and adopt proactive crisis management frameworks. This publication, commissioned by BMZ under TUMI, offers a conceptual framework and proven measures to help decision-makers build more robust, inclusive, and sustainable urban transport systems – especially in developing and emerging economies. Explore our findings to strengthen your city’s capacity to anticipate, withstand, and recover from future shocks.
